Keep trying, programming and coding is something you can earn by practicing.

Everyone started from zero, no one was born a programmer without trying over and over.

Good luck.

I remember when I started programming, it wasn't easy but I keep pushing myself to find a way to solve a problem. I was spending about a day to build a small program. After years of experience and learning, I can do the same program in10 -15 minutes. 

 

Never Stop.

Programming: I would prefer calling it software development, or better yet, solution development.

This is what programmers, software developers and/or solution developers do: Finding and implementing efficient and feasible solutions to problems, by automating part or all of the "problem"

That said, there's no problem that is easy for all and another that is hard for all. It's all relative. You can't say it is easy if you weren't able to solve it. That's were experience comes in.

When you can't solve a problem, try more or find an existing solution for that problem, and go through that solution to find out how it was solved and why it was solved that way. Rarely, if any, can you find a problem with one solution in programming.

Once you understand the how, and more importantly, the why, then you can call it an easy problem. Because it will be easy for you, the one who wasn't able to sovle it before, but can do now and in the future.

The other challenge in solving problems is when you get more experienced. That's when you face a problem that you would consider hard and complicated. You attempt to solve it as such. But what you would fail to realize is that it's solution is just as simple as that of the first problems you used to face in your early years of programming.

Same thinking different level of experience. But the result and the challenge is the same.

So don't let that problem decide if you should quit programming. Quitting programming should be based on your interest and not on a one time, or even multiple, "failures".

Every failure is an additional experience, only if you accept it as a failure and learn from it.

It's up to you if you want to quite, but keep in mind that even the expert in any field will sometimes face some difficulties ... and sometimes the answers to their problems are very easy.

No, no body is born with programming skills. Practice, practice, and practice which will make you perfect

Short answer. Yes

The long answer: it depends on your definition of an easy problem
