How To Read Documentations For Beginners

Sorry man, this was not helpful. I was hopping this video was going to help me understand how to decode what the document was talking about. like with the python print example. what are all the other option/parameters? how do determine if they are required or optional? So I get overwhelmed by the docs and then don't read them.

Problems with documentation, you need to know the function to search for it. When you have logical problem or something where you don't know the way, the documentation will not help. Because you can't ask like "How i do ..."

Stackoverflow is old news i find myself using chatgpt often :)

Thank you for this! I felt pretty dumb searching for a 'how to read instructions' video hahaha. I didn't know about the CTRL+click on the package name to get the source code thing, so thanks for that as well.

One of the many problems with many documentations is that you have to be an intermediate to an expert to understand what do they actually mean. I don't understand how that is any help to a beginner.

thanks for the video you should have also explained how to look up for *args and **kwargs parent class

Thanks Mr. Victor Krum
