I have been struggling with OOP in Python for a little while now I don't know why but, its just so damn confusing. the classes for the most part I understand but how to use certain dunders, if self should be used here or not, and among other things. Its getting kind of overwhelming to the point that I am getting frustrated.

2,872 Points@nakalkucing I get that. Just curious how do you typically take notes because I notes as well. What I typically do is take down the code that the teacher did in the video + writing down certain concepts that the teacher introduces.

I think what is really needed to be understood are 3 key components, where, clear understand of instances, attributes, methods, and just go back and do the practice couple times a day just to make sure you nailed it

12,964 PointsHi Edward Polanco Murillo! I'm a ways past OOP now but, yes, I did have great difficulty understanding it. Even now I have issues with some of the concepts I learned then. I know this is just my approach, and it might not work for you. But, basically I took it easy, rewatched a video whenever I felt that I didn't have a grip on any given point, and took extensive notes. I still struggle with some of the concepts but, at least I still have my notes to fall back on. Don't get down, buddy. Confusion is bound to come with any topic you learn. Whenever you need help, the community is here to fall back on.
Hope this helps! And best of luck, :)
