So I completed modules 1, 2, 3, and 4. Other than the do it yourself games thing (quite honestly I have no idea what code academy was thinking with the game thing. I get building on and making something a little more difficult but this was like they took a page from the book of our public education system…it was ridiculous at best to think with what we were given that we should be able to do that). Anyway I digress…
I did all of the modules up to this point without issue. I felt that I grasped it all and understood it all just fine. At the end of Module 4 lists there is a “Code Challenge: Lists” that combines everything we’ve learned to this point from module 1 syntax, module 2 Functions, and Module 3 Control Flow.
I fell completely on my face. When I showed the solutions I could read them and understand them just fine. They made sense. But me actually doing them was a disaster. I’m now afraid to move on to module 5: loops because I have a feeling until I figure this out I’ll just get further confused as we try to introduce loops into lists/functions/control flow. Just curious if anyone has any thoughts or ideas. It doesn’t appear there is really anything that takes everything from Module 1-4 and lets us learn how to use it together other than this one at the end of module 4. I just feel like I need to be comfortable using all that together before I move on or It’ll just get worse.
