Having trouble programming?

As a freshman in computer science, I find programming a bit difficult (we program in Java).

For example, when it comes to calculating the factorial of a number. I understand the program immediately, but when I have to implement such a program myself, I usually have a hard time. I have to admit that I'm still a beginner.

Is that normal? Sometimes I think to myself: "If you want to become a software engineer someday, you'll have to come up with these programs yourself and implement them yourself. If it doesn't work now, how will it work with more complex programs?"

Is this line of thought justified, or does it take time to get into the flow? Programming is also my favorite module, but I haven't been able to concentrate on it because of modules like Electrical Engineering and Math I.

That’s normal. Many software developers who have been involved for years have some problems with it. Programming is a lot of research and improvisation. There is no programmer who knows and can, no!

You read in everywhere and try it. When everything goes well, you learn from his research. This is why computer science is also a work area where experience is required. Therefore, in some job advertisements there are also requirements such as 8 years or some more experience. As I said, everything comes with the experience

Many things come through experience, the only tip I can give you to stay there and make a lot of yourself. Only with your own practical effort will you get better in it.

The experience also includes that printed code from books does not necessarily work that way.

“If I entered exactly as it stands, and I can’t go,” it always says.

des is normal. so what comes with the time. then learnt to disassemble the problem in steps, to look what needs to be done and then it just has to convert it into the language.

we used to draw structograms at the beginning, no idea if you still do that.
