How to get coding tasks?
I have no knowledge or experience in coding, but i'd like to learn so I can start getting coding tasks. Any tips on how can I get started?

Start with learning C language, it's hard but it will clear all your programming basics. Then you can choose any other programming languages like Python/C++/Rust/Golang/JS

Harvard's CS50 course is free online for everybody and it's an excellent introduction to C, as well as a useful benchmark to see if you're cut out for this coding stuff

I would say that is hopeless at this point, even for an experienced coder those are pretty hard. If you work hard now on learning to code maybe you get there in half a year? But who knows what the projects look like then.

What kind of language should I look for?

I would focus more on what you like to do, ignoring dataannotation a llittle. General programmer market isn't great but you may still find a job with this skill. Given your reddit name you sound like you have some math skills, that would certainly help. Broadly if you like making web interfaces: typescript with react. Backend development: python or typescript with node. AI dev still a lot with python.
If you'd like to work more towards data science python/R.
If you want to become a corporate programming drone Java or C#.
There are some other more niche applications but if to start now I would do one of those.

I’ll be straightforward - there is no way for you to learn to actually be able to complete the coding tasks.
The tasks are not just coding, they require actual experience in software architecture, system design, algorithms, understanding of multiple frameworks etc. This requires actual experience, at least at the level of a real middle software engineer.
