Hi. I previously had interest in computer, so I bought a raspberry pi 3B. I also bought a 16x2 lcd backlight green display with no extra modules. The only problem is, every time I try to program it, there is some mistake in the code as I am not that familiar with python.Can someone guide me on how to do the programming correctly?
