Stop Trying To Memorize Code - Do This Instead

If you are trying to memorize code then you are doing it wrong. Instead you need to focus on learning concepts. Programming is too vast to memorize every function and variable, but you can memorize all the important concepts of programming. Once you do that learning specific functions becomes trivial and learning new programming concepts also becomes much easier. In this video I lay out how you can use this way of learning to improve your programming skills.

Bottomline is, Don't memorize the code, memorize where to find it.. 😂

[@PhilLesh69]

Not where to find it. *What* to find. Understanding when to use a for loop and when to use a while loop is more important than memorizing the exact syntax of either.

[@spicytoast6890]

Yeah na

[@PhilLesh69]

@@nikolaymatveychuk6145 Wrong. You use a *for* loop when you know (or the incoming variable will hold) the number of iterations to repeat the loop, and you use a *while* loop when you want to iterate through a loop _until_ a condition is met. Or to be more concise, a for loop uses a predefined condition, while the while loop uses an open-ended condition based on commands inside the loop. For loops iterate for a preset number of times. While loops iterate till a condition is met (conditions can be functions, formulas, etc). Sure, on the surface, they will both "do the same thing" but not always and not the way you always might expect it. You can't always swap out a for with a while, or vice versa, and always get the same results.

[@nikolaymatveychuk6145]

@@PhilLesh69 "You can't always swap out a for with a while, or vice versa, and always get the same results." - yes you can :) I just showed it. "For loops iterate for a preset number of times" - no, they don't. In most languages a condition that you put to the middle section of a loop definition is checked before each iteration. So, it is also an open-ended condition (in C++, java, php, javascript, etc... sure, it is wrong for pascal, basic and some other languages with a different for-loop syntax) "you use a while loop when you want to iterate through a loop until a condition is met" - not exactly. I use it to iterate something while a condition is true. You speak about pre-conditions and post-conditions and you are right that a programmer need to know when to use each of them, but it does nothing with for and while loops. And again nothing can stop me from using break statement on some condition at the end of a loop's body. "You use a for loop when you know (or the incoming variable will hold) the number of iterations to repeat the loop" - no, often I don't know it. That's why the for-loop definition in C++ has syntax "for (initialization; condition; final-expression) { statement; statement; ... }" and not "FOR counter := startValue TO endValue" like it is in pascal or "FOR counter = startValue TO endValue STEP incrementStep" like it is in qbasic. --- So, what you really need to know is how loops work, when to use it, and how to make pre-conditioned and post-conditioned loops. :) As Uncle Bob says, there are only 3 basic things that you need to write any program: instructions, conditions (branches) and loops. So, if you know how to execute an instruction, how to choose a branch of code based on some condition and how to repeat any block of code many times - you are bound only by limits of your imagination xD

Its still memorizing. because your brain knows what to do and memorizes the steps needed to accomplish the tasks needed to complete the code. When you repeat something and over over, believe it or not, your brain memorizes what you are doing. again you still have to memorize. its called long term memorization.

[@iliashterev38]

I can add my own words here - When you understand something like those tech concepts two things happen. 1. You feel good for some time 2. It starts living inside your brain so you do not have to memorize it. It is absolutely possible to forget it. But if you do and then you refresh your memory about the concept, the above process repeats itself.

Even if we are only viewing this from an optimization standpoint, why would I waste time recreating a solution to something that has already been solved? Once all of the trivial tasks are finished; now you can spend time pondering the actual problems. (My subjective 3 cents.)

I wholeheartedly agree that learning concepts and how the language as a whole works is the priority, however, once you have the basics down packed, learning the common parts of the standard library and any frameworks or libraries that you commonly use helps immensely.

You are correct about learning and understand concepts rather than everything. This applies to anything, not just programming. The important part is having the ability to problem solve which involves coming up with multiple ways to solve a problem, choosing one and generally knowing the tools available to you to accomplish the task. A google search does no good if you don't have a clue as to what you are searching for, which sometimes has to be asked in a multiple of ways before google delivers what you are actually looking for.

This mindset has been instrumental in aligning my way of working accordingly. I no longer waste time memorizing things, but always remember how I can derive the solution, be it through google, my own project snippet.to, or little post-it notes on my wall. It is a disgrace that interviewers often not asked about the concepts. Best you learn MDN by heart for them. My last employer was different there. The interviewer asked me about my approach and whether I could program this or that algorithm now at the first go. I said, "But only if I could use Google to check what that one mathematical formula looked like. Because in a real situation, that's what most developers would do." He was impressed. Don't waste your time memorizing everything, but remember how to get the knowledge you need at that moment. The advice of a lazy person. 😁

No No I don’t make money from these I just happened to have read it and passed it on. To answer the question the author posits that memorising some key syntax is useful for 2 reasons: 1) It helps with code fluency - you are better able to read and interpret someone’s else’s code (or your own from a past project) if you can know what is being done without constant referencing. 2) Given its impossible to ‘multitask’ each break you take from coding to google a term etc can lead to you coming out of “flow” and it takes you a while to settle back in - assuming also you don’t get distracted by reading all around the syntax you need. I’m not sure I agree but it’s a fair point.

I also practice memory garbage collection. I like to forget stuff that I don't need to commit to memory.

[@BobbyBundlez]

is there a specific method to doing this? beyond just using new stuff everyday lol. seems a bit stressful to INTENTIONALLY do memory garbage collection

[@trappedcat3615]

@@BobbyBundlez some things are easy but others require training the brain to categorize those things alongside terrible smells or distasteful subjects

[@trappedcat3615]

The easiest method is to only let things repeat in memory if they belong their

[@BobbyBundlez]

Totally agree. Better to understand concepts and theories. Learn how to write clean maintainable code. Learn concepts like design patterns, test driven development, how to convert legacy code, etc.

Great lesson I’ve started learning solidity as my first language I became confident in 3 months, now I’m trying to learn JavaScript but the way you end Certain functions is way different

[@israellara89]

I understand how variables, arrays, loops, objects, and functions work but I don't know how to put it all into action to create anything 😞

[@henil0604]

LoL Don't Worry you will learn it day by day!

[@berylliosis5250]

What do you think you're missing - large-scale design and understanding of how to make complete apps, or small-scale design and understanding of how to put them together to do a specific small thing?

Start with building a simple calculator, you’ll be able to apply what you already know, and you’ll also learn a few new things

[@henil0604]

@@boluabiola7981 yea i also learned to make things by that also while building calculator i also get to know how eval Function works!

Said right bro i have seen many people who just memorize the code but do not understand the function of the code

Thanks a lot. I searched "will I forget programming" and this video popped up... It was reassuring... Again thanks a lot....

Is there anyone who's older than 8 years old who actually thought that memorizing code would do something?

[@salmanbehen4384]

You'd be surprised to know the answer.

[@InnerEagle]

Ask on Quora, you will see how many

[@ppevideos8627]

What about job interviews? They expect you to know it all !

[@Mobin92]

They are idiots then. They don't filter for good, experienced developers that way, but for students with too much time.

[@zibusisosiso-sibanda7649]

Thanks for the advice. Really needed this so much

[@Loki_Dokie]

Thanks for this, I have been feeling like im not learning js because I wasn't remembering everything that was being taught in courses. I understand it and what things do and are for, I just haven't gotten to the point of building anything yet, cheers

This video has helped me immensely. I have been coding for years, always try to memorize and now I realize it is fruitless. I end up forgetting the things I try to memorize anyways but it's always the concept you have to focus on. I think I did this because I just hate relearning things.

[@victuz]

Yeah most people don't like relearning anything.

[@Prokudak]

Great stuff, Kyle. Thank you!
