Thread: I'm seriously struggling in my Ap computer science class

I'm currently in high school taking an ap computer science course where we are learning java and I've really been struggling in learning the language (but i do know basics and some other stuff) and because of that I failed the semester with a grade of 55. I have tried talking to my teacher but they have been no help because they always point me to class notes, and I have gone over all the class notes more times than I can count and have tried solving my labs with them but I can never get the code to work. I just need some help if anyone can point me in the right direction for resources for learning the language and if they could that would be very helpful.

Divide and conquer. Programming is immensely complex and it's almost never helpful to try and take it all in at once. Just focus on the specific concepts that the class is trying to teach, and don't let yourself be overwhelmed by everything else that doesn't pertain to the concepts you're trying to learn. The big picture comes in pieces, not all at once. Learn the forest by learning only a few trees at a time.
