How does one code by themself? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm a beginner in programming, and I found out I cannot even reproduce a simple number guessing program I have earlier copied from a book.

Is it a beginner issue, or there is more than just continuing to learn to be able to code without hints?

are you trying to make a career out of it,? that is the reason most people get into it.you might need structured help like taking classes down the line from a CC. one of my bros dint go to uni but he had to learn for himself, but also took a bunch of classes for specific things in coding/programming from a CCollege. my other pro went through the whole academia for it, but it took him a very long time to complete his education.(assuming its a career decision, you want to make more income you will be expected to take on more academic courses than CC.
