Is it necessary to constantly repeat the topics covered?

Question

IT education

Hello! I'm learning python from Mark Lutz's book. I was already a little familiar with python. After reading every chapter, I forget some things. For example, I went through the topic line by line. In general, I understood the topic, but over time I forgot the string methods. Do I need to constantly repeat the topics covered, if I generally understand the topic?

Answer 1

You don’t need to memorize - this is not an EGE job, no one will take away your textbook and Google.
But if you read, you develop the skill of reading.
Write more. Feel like you know how to solve problems.

Answer 2

What is not used will always be forgotten. Tell me, why do you need to know all the string methods if you don't use them anyway?
Start writing code and take on tasks that are not immediately obvious how to solve. If you can't decide, you can already search for information in Google / book / etc. Believe me, after writing a certain number of programs you will be better at programming than if you memorize the book of the same Lutz. Even if you only remember 10% of all string methods. Programming is far from being only language constructs, and many things cannot be understood just by reading an article or book.

Answer 3

need. not only in programming. without practice will be forgotten faster
