I’m a beginner in programming, and I found out I cannot even reproduce a simple number guessing program I have earlier copied from a book.
Is it a beginner issue, or there is more than just continuing to learn to be able to code without hints?

Don’t sweat it if you don’t remember syntax stuff right away.
The building blocks will repeat so much - your if statements, loops, variable initialization - that some will stick in your head eventually.
But even when you get it, every once in a while you’ll get a brain blip and have to look it up. Don’t hesitate to have the language manual readily available. (As a next step, try working from that kind of language reference instead of copying direct from the tutorial.)
Most of the time in you won’t even have to know it - in larger projects, you’ll find a similar bit of code in an existing file and copy it, then make your modifications. Or depending on your dev environment, the IDE’s intellisense stuff will act as a guide rail.
