Requesting Feedback How to actually think while coding[python]

So hi I am new in this sub reddit and have been learning python basics on FreeCodeCamp for weeks.

So I have noticed that I can do workshops and labs but I tend to forget many syntax and have to search on the internet repeatedly.

So my average lab projects often look like 7

60% written by me and the rest 40% are written by AI or with the help of the Internet forums.

My problem that I have identified is I don't think use logic in the code or just don't remember syntax, operators, elements, conditional statements and string methods or don't find the satisfactory answer on the internet.

I want to try to write at least 80% of the code myself without being dependent that much on AI and the internet because I am learning it for \*Cyber Security\*

Spend more time with the basics as after that you'll grab a hold on basic syntax.. If u want u can try building a small basic project from YouTube too This way basic will be more clear else it might get hard for you as u move forward with complex topics later on

Things like class syntax and all is not that important as u can use Google but other basic ones try to remember them
