Don't let yourself down because you don't know the syntax off the top of your head.

Even after 15 years of programming, and studying computer science, I would have to look up how to write loops, conditions, variable assignments in bash / sh / batch.

Coming to python from a primarily java focus background wasn't any different. I knew what steps the program should do, but had to look up how to translate it into whatever language. And for further improvements what features the language has to express the things "in the style of the language"

Thanks, that encouragement is definitely helpful, it felt like I was struggling with something most programmers would consider should be mastered day 1, right after lunch because hello world is before lunch haha. Glad to know people still have to look it up even after a while sometimes.
