Have you ever made complex task in programming and you didn't understand what you'd done, but it worked perfectly? Or I'm the only one who has such an experience? It's really strange, but it happens sometimes, what about you?

I have done that in GML(game maker language) a couple time even though its a very easy language, but most the time I do the opposite and make something I don't under stand and fail miserably.:D

I always understand my creations. If you lose track of what your code is doing, you need to leave some comments.

When I'm working with code that is partially copied and tweaked, sometimes. Generally, this only happens to me with HTML+CSS.

It often happens to me with numbers. Often I write a function that has a few nested loops that all do something to various increments, and I get an output that is one too many digits, or indicates that the loop executed once more than I expected it to. I don't feel like figuring out the exact mathematics of it, but I know how to correct the errors.

Happens to me sometimes. If the logic behind the code goes so complicated, it's really hard to understand, why such implementation was used.

not really the only instance i have had of that was when i wrote my first C++ "game" for a class in highschool. It was text base and i had no clue what i was doing, I knew how to store variables but did not know it was called a variable or why it did what it did. I could print to comand prompt but not know why and so on. I don't do the copy paste thing or use code from tutorials so sence then i pretty much know what is happening in my programs
