I was able to get through most of the basic JavaScript lessons pretty easily feeling like I understood the content well, however, when I got the the sections about loops - I felt like I could not solve any of the problems by myself. I found myself having to look at the hints and solutions to know where to start. I really want to learn this content thoroughly, but am getting a little discouraged. Any advice or words of encouragement?
Well as I always say - this is difficult stuff, don’t be too hard on yourself.
I think the great jazz guitarist once said that every great jazz guitarist was a guitarist that struggled with something but didn’t give up.
If you struggle with loops, then spend a few days just searching youtube for “javascript loops”. Watch videos and maybe code along. Look for other challenges on the web. If you “cheated” on the loops challenges on FCC - then wait a week and go back and do them again from scratch - learning is still learning.

Hi there,
I had a hard time figuring out loops. I did a lot of practice, and this MDN article helped me to understand what is going on. There are exercises at the end for practice.
It will come.
Programming is hard. It’s ok and perfectly normal if it takes time for certain ideas to click in your mind.
