Christopher Lee
Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 11,698 PointsJavaScript is difficult
Is JavaScript supposed to be this difficult? I felt good about it until I started going through the lessons about Loops, Arrays, and Objects. When I attempt the challenges like the Student Report, I just stare at the screen for what seems like forever and I'm at a lost on how to begin. Has anyone else felt like this?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 28,940 PointsYes. I exactly felt this way. However I kept repeating those lessons over and over again. It helps. I am not a JS wizard by any stretch, as I am more of a weekend keyboard warrior. However if you persist it will pay off. Don't give up!

Usually after I get some sleep, my brain starts working properly again. As Piotr Manczak said, you can try and repeat the lesson, however even that might not always work if you're really tired. Taking a break is crucial for every developer! Coffee helps, so does meditation (if you're into that). Whatever you do, just don't quit! Because once you figure it out, it will all become easier and make more sense :)
Good luck!
