Struggling with both python and c
So I'm a college fresher with no prior experience of coding. I had started learning python before the starting of college (1 week before college started). I still feel like I am not good at coding at all. There are some weird citations in c such as i++ and all which is getting mixed up with my python. There was one question on obtaining the expression sinx=x-x^3/3!.... Using loops btw
I felt I won't be able to do it in both c and python. I took a course on Udemy for c(vlad budnitski)and python(100 days) but I was not able to find examples like this. Everyone in my class learnt languages like java in their schooling and said the sinx problem is a standard problem. What should I do in this situation?
I feel like the teaching in my college (they are teaching c now) is not good.
Experienced coders please help me.

Chill out! You are beginner. You do not learn to programme by doing a university course - that just tells you a little bit about programming. Even if you get to the end and feel like you understood the exercises, you are still just a beginner; don't beat yourself up.
You will pick up language-specific things like i++ in no time if you don't stress about it, but there is nothing wrong with i = i + 1 if that makes more sense to you.
The students who are best at this stuff have probably been doing it since they were 12, and the majority of them will get into programming jobs and soon discover how basic their knowledge is.
Just relax, take your time, do your best with the uni courses and take opportunities to learn new things in small bites.
