I've watched this SO many times and I still don't get it. Can someone please break it down for me?

Watch it again and watch it on 0.5speed and listen very carefully on what the teacher is saying. Understand every single part of code, and then, do it as well, and after you have done it, do it again without looking.
Take it slow.

I'm right there with you. I have also watched it numerous times and understand about half of it. I tried the exercise afterwards and completed the first 2 tasks but was lost on the 3rd. I just couldn't figure out what he wanted me to do. I get the "loop" concept but am not understanding how to implement it. If I figure it out, I'll let you know. Keep plugging away.

449 PointsThanks, Jennifer! I understood it in other YouTube videos but I got pretty confused here and the exercise following it.

2,435 PointsHow you guys are exactly learning? could you tell me please how your process looks? It took me two years to realise on how to properly learn.

682 PointsYou have probably already figured out how to do task 3 by now (your response is 7 months old) but incase anyone else is having trouble it's actually quite simple. Just add the line
console.printf("Because you said %s, you passed the test!");

449 PointsKonrad Pilch, I just started...so idk how well i could advice you. Right now, TreeHouse is my main way of learning. If I'm really stuck on something, I have a friend that I can ask for help. I also write down a lot of notes to help retain the info. How are you learning?
