There are 2 aspects to programming that you might or might not be getting. First is figuring out what the solution to your problem is, Second is to put the solution on paper (write the program). Both of these take practice, but the former is much harder to learn that the latter. Most programming courses will teach you the latter. I wrote my first C program at 11, but I certainly didn't understand what that * meant next to a variable at the time, but I could think of the solution to the problem in terms of a program.
