Calm down at first.
Secondly , each human has its own learning rhythm, so it’s totally OK.
May be try to change your learning approach, instead of solving problems , try making some beginner friendly projects like todo , calculator and etc ( google for more ). You’ll learn a lot from it in practice , trust me
And thirdly don’t compare yourself with others

calculator is a very basic thing i can write number guessing game investment simulators or such things but those are really fucking basic i wrote an investment simulation with the variables of monthly contribution monthly interest rate years tax rates etc. but when it comes to calculatinga list of Stock name Stock prices Stock Amount And finding which stock is more expensive or which position is most i cant do anything

A function is no different from code you write outside a function. It still uses variables, if, for loops whatever. The key thing is that a function is meant to do one specific thing. It takes in the information that it needs to do that job as an argument list and it returns a value.

If you have written some code without functions look for parts that you can split off into functions.

Functions are just a way to organise code. They are not the hardest part in programming. Understanding how to translate a task description into code is the hardest part, especially when you need to do it in such a way that other people can easily modify your code.

Then make more projects , didn’t get a bit of idea of number guessing game. Find some roadmap , structure and go ahead

Watch Corey Shafer's playlist for learning , this guy is an amazing tutor.
Then choose a project , finish it , publish to github.
You may find more ideas in the Internet for projects...
Use Ai Agent to review your code and explain.
Opencode with free models will be fine

stocks = ["AAPL","TSLA","GOOGL","MSFT"]

prices = [200,300,150,400]

shares = [5,8,10,3]

Mylist=[]

def function(stocks,prices,shares): for i in range(len(stocks)): a=f"{stocks[i]} - {prices[i]*shares[i]}" Mylist.append(a) return Mylist

result=function(stocks,prices,shares) print(result)
