Turning a code snippet into a working example can be a good exercise.
Taking a piece of non-running code and making it run, helps you to
better learn the language and makes you a better debugger.

I also agree having full working examples is useful to fall back to if
one gets stuck.  The w3schools.com tutorials are a good example.  Code
snippets are provided when discussing features of a language, and full
working examples are available in their playground via a "Run example"
button.

Everyone learns differently.
