Redux as a state management in JavaScript.
It looked confusing at first because of its much moving parts but is pretty simple with time and dedication.

Good topic..
Mine is global and local variable. Still confusing till date.

Not also feeling the numpy, matplotlib etc syntax... I just feel it is just too complicated for no just cause.

And why so many programming languages? It is so confusing. Almost like having different English languages... I don't just get it. Why not stick to one language that can address all needs?

I think according to Java... Global variables are the ones that can be used by every thing in the class and local variables are variables that can be used only in a method ,inner class or code block that it was created

Example:
Public class MyClass{
public int variable:// this is a global variables
}

Public void VariMethod(int a){
//a is a local variable
}

Accept my humble explanation bro

I nor too sabi

No Language is difficult, it's difficult because you haven't practice enough. By the time you do lot of practice, you will know that it's very easy.

There's time for everything, even motivational speeches.

The topic didn't say one language is difficult than the other. Rather, it's about programming concepts one finds challenging. You can see It's a subjective question and the answers are understandably relative.

And honestly, you make little sense because you're so out of point on this. ALL CONCEPTS ARE NOT THE SAME. and saying adequate practice make things easy is besides the point also.

How many hours of practice would it take the average person to comprehend variable declaration in any language? Then how many hours for recursion? You can see that in reality, some concepts will always require more time to grasp than others, simple. And the OP questions only concerns itself with that.

So Sir, which concept required more practice time of you?

Coming from a procedural programning background with BASIC and Pascal, the switch to OOP with C++ and Java was very challenging. This was in the era were you wrote complete code on paper then start looking for computer where you can type.

Debugging was a different kind of stress. Unlike now were graphical IDEs have simplified coding and debugging

Idontknowyou:
The THIS keyword in Javascript.. that small thing, took me 2 months to learn..
But las las I understand am after learning class In JavaScript

It took me few hours to wrap my head around that THIS keyword in Javascript. I don't know how it happened, but I did it.

The hardest topic for me which I'm still trying to wrap my head around is OOP in python, and regex.

From least to hardest, mine was
1) Nested for loops in JavaScript. When I start seeing things like arr[i][j] I'll just be lost. One day it just clicked as I was solving a problem on nested loops, I was so happy.
2) Second was this.bind() in JavaScript took me a while to understand.
3) Third is regex, it looked like chinese to me then, it still looks like Chinese now embarassed

maybe I'll make it a new year's resolution to learn regex grin

Took a long time to wrap my head around the idea of recursion. Socket programming on C++ was even worse than my struggle with recursion.

seeing programmers talk about stuffs is really great. I was learning Excel earlier this year and got to the VBA part, I was coping along the way but that shit is just too hard for me,maybe it is because I don't put much time to learning it due to work. my thoughts then was that I would be able to gain something before I move on to learn a programming language but here I am. I still hold the dream sha. thumbs up to you guys
