Is it cheating to refer to workspaces during code challenges

as the question says, it's hard to remember correct code during challenges and afterwards, have you looked at your old code to remember how to code new websites and do you think it's cheating as well?

Cheating? No way. It's good to have reference points. There's been plenty of times, especially working on something difficult that I had to look back and see how I did something. Ideally you would look back and make the code better potentially. But, don't get hard on yourself by calling it cheating. I would definitely fail a couple times by trying first, then going to look back. Try to stretch yourself. It will be hard to commit to memory if someone is telling you how to do it the entire time.

I fully agree with Justin Nipper. It's totally what I was about to say :)
