Is HackerRank a good way to learn how to program?
Can I just say how horrible HackerRank questions are?

Has anyone tried many of the "basic" challenges for Python on HackerRank? It seems that a lot of the challenges may ultimately involve writing relatively simple code. To me, the problems are presented in a very abstract and mathematical way that makes it difficult to glean what patterns or techniques might be applicable i.e. storing values in a dictionary or looping through a list using a counter variable.
Also, what is a good resource where I can learn more about how to use "STDIN" and "STDOUT"?
edit: grammar
Hey everyone!
As someone who's determined to learn Python, I've found that there are so many great resources out there for beginners and experienced users alike. From online courses to coding challenges, there's no shortage of ways to improve your skills and knowledge.
That being said, I'm currently struggling with some of the easy questions on HackerRank and CodeWar, even though I feel like I have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts of Python. Have any of you experienced this as well? If so, I'd love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have for overcoming this challenge.
I'm determined to keep learning Python until I'm fluent in it, so I'm also curious to know what other external resources you've used to learn Python. Are there any particular books, videos, courses, or websites that you found especially helpful? I'm always looking for new ways to enhance my skills and expand my knowledge, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your input, and happy coding!
