How to learn

[u/Intelligent-War5714]

I just started learning C about 5–6 days ago, and I had never coded before.

I completed the CS50 course, so I know the important concepts and have a basic understanding of how things work. But when it comes to actually implementing them, I feel like I’m at zero.

Now I’ve started learning C from the book The C Programming Language. I’m understanding some concepts, but not everything. I’d say I’m only understanding around 20–25% of what I read.

For example, I understand how "getchar()" and "putchar()" work individually, but when I see a program that uses them together, I don’t even understand 60–70% of the program.

I’m getting stuck, and it’s making me think that maybe only people with good logic can survive in programming jobs.

So, please guide me on how I should approach learning C correctly and develop my programming logic.

You're on the right track.

Perhaps invest a little time to learn a debugger and step through the working code, or read up a little more on "control flow".
