I keep forgetting how to code some stuff

[p4q]

This is my first time programming, i'm currently trying to learn C# in udemy
i have learned some basic coding, like if and else
but there are somethings i forget how to code that i already learned
and have to go back to udemy class to remember it again.
What do you guys suggest to not forget how to code?

i already watched some array and while loops and i can't code it on my own
because i end up forgetting what i need for that code structure
but i can code if and else structure on my own. and also some more other basic coding
like giving a variable a value and multiply them for example

is this even normal?

Do it constantly. Every language has it's own syntax but the tenets of programming are the same across each paradigm.

If you run out of ideas to program, join an open source project and contribute.

I'm coding for years and even I forgot some part if I do not code frequently, it's totally normal

@p4q why you are wasting your time with C#? Learn something newer and better like JavaScript, PHP, Python, Android Java... you really don't need to learn something that is not used anymore.

Yupp it's totally normal. You will start remembering stuffs with experience. There is no shortcut to that. Plus, stop worrying about syntax. Logic is much more important than syntax. If your logic is clear, you can google whenever you need syntax.
Another thing, try using an IDE which auto completes your code. That makes life much easier.

Practice makes perfect dear.

You are not focused. So you are wasting your own time.

And, like I said, you don't learn to program but to solve a problem using programming. That's the way to learn to program.

Programming is not a memory game.

The problem is you're watching a video. Video courses are great for getting the big picture. Consider getting a book on the subject, I learned much more and understood everything better by reading a book.

I feel your pain! I'm just starting to dabble in learning some new languages and getting my feet wet with random coding exercises!

A good code editor helps out a lot, I have been using Sublime to write some of my code and it has some really nice auto-fill functions. It really helps when you understand what your trying to do but you just forget the syntax, and all you have to do is hit the right hotkey combo and you get a nice little list right in front of you to input from.

Best of luck with on your journey!

You just need more pratice

Keep trying. Stay persistent and your mind will adapt subconsciously. The best thing to do is start a small project and follow it through until the end, google whatever you need to learn in order to complete this project and by the end you should understand the basic principles of coding in this language.
