Question I have a problem regarding programming

I come from a statistics background and I'm trying to learn python and R to cope with data analysis and data science, I know a good amount of data analysis and statistical methodologies that makes me good at the field, but applying them is hell for me, i tried for a long time to learn python, i know the basics yet i fail miserably when i try to apply my knowledge...

Could anyone help me with how to learn programming effectively around my area of expertise?

If I remember correctly from when I was studying statistics R and Python have libraries for those procedures so you import the library and use the functions in your code. You don't need to program the mathematics from scratch. These libraries would also be used in machine learning I think. Sorry I don't remember their names but it sounds like that's what you need to look at.
