How do you overcome coding challenges?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

I've gotten into all sorts of difficulties in coding over the years trying to solve some challenges. The worst incident is when I have spent countless hours troubleshooting code, only to find the problem was a simple syntax error. I have learned that sometimes you must take a step back and simplify the problem. That is how I was able to debug it. How do you overcome such coding challenges?

Definitely taking a step back has helped me the most whenever I have a tough problem I'll take a break walk my dog or play and game then come back and try again hopefully with a new perspective

@BerrieStrawberrie I also take a step backward and check the code from the beginning again. I also use an online tool to check where I make mistakes. Coding comes with a lot of challenges especially for a beginner.

I use chatGPT to help me out when I don't seem to understand where I'm heading. I also discuss it with those that are more experienced than me.
