Programming...

[knox09]

I just don't understand it and it's pissing me off. Anyone here a good programmer that can give advice how you learned it? I am learning C++ (second semester of it) and i just do not understand how arrays work. I think i may drop the idea of programming unless a lightbulb turns on or something.

Well , we had a really good teacher that explained everything really well.
But the best thing you can do is try and write programs in your C++ and play with them until you get what you want.
Arrays are pretty easy to be honest , things get touger when you study recursion , and dynamic ways to store data ( List , Queue etc )

Is going from python language to C++ going to be really hard? We're doing python in computing because apparently it's easiest to be taught and quickest to learn, but I wanna develop..

arrays are quite easy to understand.

one dimensional array :

[1]
[2]
[3]

basically just values in a sequence (can be anything. values, objects, instances)

two dimensional array :

[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9]

values in a grid.

adding values or reading them is quite simple as well, for a 1D array you just write 1 for loop like so :

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
nameofthearray[i] = i;
}

2D arrays are a bit harder :

for (int row = 0; row < 3; row++)
{
for (int column = 0; column < 3; column++)
{
nameofthearray[row][column] = row + column;
}
}

this is all in C#, but i'm sure C++ is almost the same (in fact most languages are).

If you don't have the oppurtunity to learn informatics in school, you better should visit a class.

If you don't have the money for a class, find some e-buddies who can teach you if they'd like to.

I am trying to learn C++ in my spare time and I'm using Learn C++ -.
I think it's really well explained and there's a lot of good stuff there. It's a good place to check up if you can't remember some things and all

Thank you all for the advice, i will give it a go. My problem isnt with the concept as much as coding. Ill just keep practicing and reading that website
