in the current age of AI bros vibe coding everything, finding an actual human learning a programming language to fix a problem they have is like finding a deepslate emerald ore (iykyk)
For me, slow progression is important to actually make the concepts “stick” in the brain, so do make sure to take your time in the journey, and not do the whole course in few days.
I would heavily reccommend to experiment with the code yourself, see it crash and error out and really get the “why” it works (not just how to do it in that case).
For example, you can pass 3 parameters to a function?
Another great tip is to have a small project you are passionate about yourself: a card playing game (on the terminal, without graphics), an interesting math simulation, or a small program usable via terminal.
C++ is hard. If it’s too frustrating consider python for an easier introduction (there are no pointers there!), and you can still switch to c++ later. All mainstream programming languages work more or less the same, and the programming skills transfer very well between them!
Hell yeah 🎉🎉

wishing you the best of luck :D
Thanks this is my progress so far, not much but I’m getting there
Haven’t gotten to the screenshot lesson yet, huh?
Nice!
