My buddy said I was wasting time typing out every example by hand instead of copy pasting, and he might be right

I was working through a Python tutorial on functions last week and typed out all 40 lines of the example instead of pasting it, just so it would stick. He told me I was just slowing myself down, but I actually remembered how the return statement worked the next day without looking it up. Do you type stuff out when you're learning or just paste and read it?
