Start by writing down what problem you are trying to solve with this 
code, and what you expect the code to do. In detail. What input data does 
it take, what result should it produce.

Then write down, in Greek, how *you* would solve this problem, again, in 
detail. What steps would *you* take? If you don't know how to solve the 
problem in real life, how do you expect to write instructions for a 
computer to solve it?

Once you know how to solve the problem yourself, then you need to change 
those steps into steps the computer can perform. Then, and only then, 
should you even think about writing Python code.

That is what programmers do. Since you want to be a programmer, you need 
to learn how to do this. Good luck! It's lots of hard work, and sometimes 
time consuming. That's all part of the job.
