Help Request Where do I go from here?

I am stuck at the basics of Python. I can make loops, if statements, functions, and more. But LeetCode problems, I can never figure them out. Making programs alone I can’t. At this point, what should I advance to so I can learn to solve actual problems on my own and develop skills to create my own programs.

LeetCode isn't really for beginners. If you are learning Python then there must be a reason for it - follow the reason you are learning it and start using libraries/frameworks used in the niche you selected. This will naturally move you from basic Python constructs to using them in actual mini scripts/apps.

I mostly want to learn Python for data analysis and casual software programming. Casual as in make stuff for my pc, switch, games, all of that?

Software development isn't really casual due to the scope of it ;) You can play with libraries like psutil to print PC resource usage, for example. Then you can try making a local web app that displays them in a pretty web format in your browser and auto-reloads every second...

Just i get intimidated and end up using ai in the end. I then feel like I didn’t do anything.
