I watched/practised lecture videos(with hands on coding), section video and practice problems too.

The issue is that I am unable to see anything, let me explain, I feel blinded if anything outside the scope of lecture comes. I don't know if its called computational thinking or problem solving or logical thinking or all of the above but i just am nothing structurally as I should when I approach a problem.

I also think I am operating from memory as I find it difficult to understand technical language and coding jargon.

And I was able to understand the left aligned mario problem from section video but man oh man I'm stone cold stuck in pset mario problem right aligned pyramid.

I'm really frustrated and hating myself at this point.

> I strictly ask Chatgpt to never give me direct solutions.

I somehow finished week 1 - C - youtube lecture and section video too.

Did some hands on practice as well in parallel.

The frustating part is that cs50 doesnt teach you about the aspects of C, they're teaching programming.

So I am not aware that we can do arithmetic operations inside For loop.

I'm unable to think through Mario Problem right aligned even tho Left Aligned was clear to me.

I was wondering if you guys have any good prompts I can use in chatgpt to make me understand because normally I don't understand what those technical explanations mean. I generally comprehend better through :

- guided discovery

- step by step concept building

- mental models

- concise question driven explanations

But I get stuck despite that.

Does anyone has any suggestions? Or prompts I can use to help me through this?

`Please mention if you went through surgery or not.`

I was wondering what happens in the long term with those of us who have been through an ACL injury (partial, full).

Thanks
