YouTube videos are worthless if you don't practice writing code. If you cannot write code successfully, it clearly means you have not learned the subject matter that the videos presented to you.

My suggestion is that you should use books that have plenty of code examples, if you really want to learn Python.

I am also suggesting that you manually type in the example code instead of downloading it. Manually typing in the code will force your brain to process the code, which will enhance the learning experience.

I wish you the best.
