How Am I Doing After Four Days of Learning C#?

For only four days, this is a reasonable start. Your method does update the health and handle the zero-or-less case. A few things could be cleaned up: `hp = hp;` has no effect and can be removed, and C# methods and variables are usually named consistently, such as `ChangeHealth` and `hp` or `health`. Also, C# is normally pronounced “C Sharp,” although people may casually describe `#` as a hash in other contexts. Most importantly, practice on a computer when possible, because typing and testing code on a phone will make learning much harder.

Programming does involve lots of attention to detail, but it isn’t only memorizing punctuation. Try writing small programs, running them, reading the error messages, and changing one thing at a time to see what happens. Learn the basics in order—variables, conditions, methods, loops, classes, and collections—rather than trying to rush through everything. Your `Banish()` method could simply set `hp` to zero, while the `else` block can be omitted because it doesn’t change anything.

A keyboard would make a big difference for learning programming, especially when code contains braces, parentheses, semicolons, and capitalization. If you don’t currently have access to one, focus on short exercises and use an online compiler or coding app where possible. Don’t worry about learning faster than everyone else; consistent practice and fixing your own mistakes will help more than rushing.
