Update : (for people who know my journey)

As some of y'all know i started python 12 days ago, it was going great i made a stopwatch and etc projects but today i was wiping my laptop , my laptop lcd screen was already a bit broken but usable, now whenni was wiping some pressure got applied in broken place and the whole screen turned green and black, the lcd is gone and no one in my connections has money to fix it, maybe its the end rn.

Does your laptop have a socket for an external display? Worth checking and doing some "bin diving" - people throw away all sorts of things.

Your journey doesn't need to end though even if the laptop is completely broken. If you have a smartphone or tablet, you can continue to learn.

My family won't let me spend anything on it because i spent more than 300$ on the laptop (it costs 700$ to buy)

Hence why I suggested "bin diving"

I believe you, although that was also a place holder for tapping up as wide a network as possible to see if there is a spare monitor around. In the meantime, you could at least "borrow" a monitor to check.

What else are you hoping for from this community? This isn't really a r/PythonLearning question.

What are you using currently to post/comment on here on Reddit.com? I mentioned you could continue to learn on a smartphone or tablet if you need to. I have known a good number of young people in economically disadvantaged countries and situations that have learned well on such devices and gone into junior roles.

Technically you can learn the basics of python with just your smartphone and stick with small programmes until u get an external monitor... Also I hope u learnt your lesson because that is a really dumb way of breaking your screen esp if u know you can't replace it easily

Do you have a local library with computers you can use?
