1. Do not repeat. Repeating code is probably one of the #1 most criticized things about coding. Repeating code makes it difficult for someone else to read by making your code look sloppy. It also is not very professional.
2. Do not give up! Coding can be difficult or hard if you make hard. Coding is fun and not as difficult when you read, study, and run code to test your knowledge. You won’t get any better at coding unless you keep going at it! Coding is one of those things where you get better with more experience.
