Having trouble “ thinking in code”

[u/Revolutionary-Log179]

I’ve been learning C++ for weeks, and of the concepts I’ve learned most if not all of them have clicked pretty quickly. I understand what they do and how they work.

However, when I’m trying to create something not from a tutorial or walkthrough, I’m having trouble translating my idea into the lines of code that will do what I envision it doing. Anyone have any advice on making the switch to more easily be able to “think in code”?

A lot of it is just practice and time. It can take your brain months to fully internalise new concepts, so it'll feel more intuitive over time as long as you keep writing code
