I just got started on working out problems here. I am a beginner programmer I would say. I have played around with some Python and C#.
Now that I am on here, though, I am really getting challenged, which is good for learning, of course. However if I am having trouble on problem 12 right now will I be able to continue when the problems get to the next level or am I going to drown?
Am I going to drown later?
Re: Am I going to drown later?
It depends on the problem itself and on your favors.
The ability of solving a problem depends on many facts:
1. Your Math knowledge in the field of the problem
2. Your coding skills
3. Your ability in optimization of code
E.g. for problem 12 you need knowledge of triangular numbers and divisibility.
The next one is to develop your algorithm. And maybe an optimization.
But you may try an other problem first.

Re: Am I going to drown later?
What kind of trouble are you talking about in problem 12? Does you code take too long?
