      For me, the hardest part was understanding just how detailed I needed to be to program a computer to do something. Computers work on hard rules, and will not do anything that breaks them (for example, “5 + sushi” makes no sense to a computer). So, I needed to learn how to instruct the computer to do what I want (so, “5 + sushi” becomes “here is code to print the word “sushi” 5 times”).
