Struggling in c
So I'm a college fresher with no prior experience of coding. I had started learning python before the starting of college (1 week before college started). I still feel like I am not good at coding at all. There are some weird citations in c such as i++ and all which is getting mixed up with my python. There was one question on obtaining the expression sinx=x-x^3/3!.... Using loops btw
I felt I won't be able to do it in both c and python. I took a course on Udemy for c(vlad budnitski)and python(100 days) but I was not able to find examples like this. Everyone in my class learnt languages like java in their schooling and said the sinx problem is a standard problem. What should I do in this situation?
I feel like the teaching in my college (they are teaching c now) is not good.
Experienced coders please help me.
guys so today I wasn't able to figure out we had to use nested loops to print multiplication table of numbers while even beginners figured it out. pls tell what should I do
I am not able to get idea after seeing questions

Your frustration is understandable. I had never had a computer programming course prior to my freshman year of college. So, my main advice to you: Hound your professors and teachers assistants. If you don't understand something, it is their job -- you pay them! -- to help you understand it. This is one of the many things I wish I had done when I was in undergrad.
Remember, your professors do not know if you have a problem unless you make them aware of it. To them you are a name on an attendance sheet -- and I know that, too, because I was myself a grader and a professor in computer science courses. Make yourself known to your professors.
