Mastering Symbols and Numbers

The top row is often the hardest for developers. Learn to hit symbols accurately.

Operators like +, =, -, and & are essential in every programming language.

Practical Advice

Do not lift your entire hand to reach the top row. Stretch your fingers upwards while keeping the base of your hands anchored near the home position.

Example Code

total = (price * 1.2) + shipping_fee
if total >= 100 and status != "guest":
    apply_discount()
