That may be an effective way to learn (ie. it works), but I have my doubts that it's a very efficient one (ie. you could learn more in the time you spend retyping that code) or a very entertaining one (ie. other ways of learning to code are more interesting).
- prof_hobart 14y agoYou could create more, but whether you'd learn more is another matter. I know that whenever I've gone down the "copy a bit of code and modify it" route it's never sunk in as well as manually retyping it all.
- NegativeK 14y agoI've found that it's easy for me to space out and just go through the motions if I'm simply reading or copying and pasting. Typing the code manually (or writing full notes in a university course, et cetera) forces me to focus enough that it actually drastically increases my efficiency. So in my case, it's more work to type out code than to copy and paste, but it saves work in the long run.
