PE is _mostly_ a math site, which if you want to learn that is great, but it&amp;#x27;s not the same as programming.&lt;p&gt;What other sites are you looking at? I don&amp;#x27;t actually know that I&amp;#x27;d recommend any puzzle sites to a new programmer. The ones I know of are for fun, not for improving your software dev skills.</text></comment>
