Remembering A Code Technique

[StevenF50]

How do you remember a code so you can do it again without having to look it up, I do it by first copy pasting the code then deleting then trying to remember it and then keep writing it over and over again to get it imprinted in my brain.

*shrug* I remember certain code snippets, but I don't code THAT much to have a constant snippet or whatever that I can post.

So you have to like search the web again to find out?

Nope, I have them on a .txt file

 

[StevenF50]

Oh lol Good idea.

 

[Tindris]

I just remember them, there are a few things that I can never quite remember and those I have in books. But after you have done things a few times you remember them

 

[StevenF50]

I don't have a good memory so it's harder for me.

 

[Tindris]

Sticky notes on the desk and cheatsheets on the wall are great

I normally remember it, though I'll look it up if I absolutely have to.

I can never remember codes, I can only remember a tiny bit of php, even though I've coded a lot of php.

Why waste brain space? Just package it all up in a .txt file and have it open while you code

 

[StevenF50]

It's so annoying when people spell "php" in lowercase. >.>

/OCD :ROFLMAO:

There's nothing wrong with saying php, the majority of people say php.

 

[StevenF50]

Who cares if someone's grammar isn't perfect? No one.

 

[StevenF50]

My pet hate: Grammar nazis. Anyway back on topic.

 

[StevenF50]

What did you say about php?

 

[StevenF50]

I don't miss a trick

I have a pretty good memory but I like to remember what it will look like once I have typed the code for it, that generally helps me remember the snippet itself

 

[Geoffrey]

I either remember where I used the snippet and go back to that and copy/paste or save it in a notepad doc and open it up later when i need it, the latter being if it's something I'll use in every code. I don't bother memorizing the snippet itself.
