This is literally just the very very very most basic concept. It is no trivial matter to just look at something someone else wrote, understand it immediately and then change it how you want it to be. It just does not work that way.
Yes I have done coding before and do it now. My background is in IT. Of course it's a simplification, I'm not going to write a whole bunch of assembler to prove a point.
Programming these days is a piece of cake to what it used to be.
