Need Guidance and Suggestions on What to note
Posted by Krishna_mehta_0@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I just started learning python, in the process of learning i came across multiple functions which have different work, but i forget majority of them after a certain point, i know how they work but just don't remember the syntax, ik we can use google whenever we want to know about any specific function, but the main issue is interviews, there u cant say that ik how it works but i just don't remember the syntax
After searching a lot about it, i came to this conclusion:
U can write whatever u r seeing and think it might be useful, now comes the remembering part, so solve questions for them and u will understand what's important and what's not, and those concepts which repeat more , means they are more important and u will eventually learn them by solving questions as they will keep repeating.
Is my conclusion right? Or it needs some correction.

Yeah that’s pretty much it, you don’t memorize everything upfront, the stuff you use again and again just sticks naturally over time.

yeah i had same problem when starting out, especially during my air force training where they expect you memorize everything
your approach is solid but maybe add flashcards for syntax you keep forgetting? i use them for the really common ones like list comprehensions, string methods etc. also practice coding without IDE help sometimes - just notepad or paper, forces you to remember the exact syntax
most interviewers are pretty chill about minor syntax stuff though, they care more about logic and problem solving. just mention you normally use IDE autocomplete in real work
