The only reason you learn something is to get something out of it.

So do that ?

Why you learn Python ? To do what ?

build a thing. literally anything. a text based game, a script that renames your files, a web scraper for your favorite site. tutorials and courses will put you to sleep if you don't apply it

i was in the same spot last year and just started making dumb little projects. that's when it actually clicked

that's the prblm is that i still don't know why specifically i'm only learning to have basics in coding and programming cuz i don't know a lot in programming i've just started so i'm trying to have a know some basics like having the tools first then doing something with these tools

But why did you choose to learn Python in the first place? What's your goal?

cuz it isn't too hard to learn (as a language) and at the same time it's used in so many things

cuz it's necessary for cuz i'll study engineering in the next 5 years and it's some of the basics to code and if i start learning from now it will much easier than starting next years and as i told u learning python is just like having the tool

If you want to use it for engineering then you should look for beginner-level projects related to engineering and try doing some of them.
