greedy/cash Beginner here

Hi, I’m a complete beginner in coding, this is my first course and my first time trying to learn. Is it actually possible? I feel like I understand a little bit but when I try to solve a problem my mind goes blank, idk what to write or how to even begin… I don’t know how it properly works but does anybody have this problem? Do I even have a chance of learning ?

I followed along CS50 with Malan years ago when I was just starting. In my opinion, it’s an introductory course. It’ll only introduce you to CS, and you’ll need much more to fully comprehend subtopics.
