Best way to remember code?!?

What is the best way to remember like Android and IOS and even other code? I have trouble I guess learning the code and keeping it in my head. After a week or so I just kinda forget how to write a line or something like that. It is kinda hard to just practice because I don't really know all of the language so like what is some of the stuff you guys do or is it just me?

Make sure you do all the challenges, quizzes, and write the code that the teachers are writing. Hope this helps!

P.S. I'm not perfact either.

i just started learning swift, and for me, like learning a foreign language, you have to keep immersing yourself in it. any gaps will inevitably cause you to forget. even if you're in it 10 minutes a day, it will begin to stick and you'll remember a lot more. But with that said, even the best developers don't have everything in their head. It's completely ok to refer back to old projects or documentation...or the crowd favorite...simply google it. experience developers do all of those things regularly.

definitely leaving it for a week, at the early stages, will definitely leave room to forget even simple tasks! keep in it everyday and it will stick a lot easier!

I completly agree, and also do all the challenges, quizzes, and write the code until you get it right.

Make it a habit to watch a few videos everyday. I've been taking notes on flashcards and studying them just like in school. If you do not entirely understand a concept, re-watch the video and do research online until it is clear...do not move on until you have a solid grasp on the concept at hand.

The best way I remember code is to try and create something. Struggling with why the code is not working as intended, followed up with researching a solution, generally leads to a longer lasting memory - but only if I'm doing something I want to do; struggling for a solution to a problem I don't care about generally leads to a very short memory.
