C++ and Assembly are must haves if you are focusing on designing, coding for, or working with hardware of all types and for games, too. Plus, even if you do not do anything with whatever you learn, keeping the brain active (reasonably) keeps its decay/decline at bay. :hail:

I read that C++ is the foundation for a lot of stuff, for example cyber security if you wanna be secure you have to know it. It also has a lot of other uses.

guys look at my program (Please do not laugh at me if I made a mistake):

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main () {

int age
string name


cout <<"What is your name?" <<endl;
cin >>name;

cout <<"How old are you?" << endl;
cin >>age;

cout <<"Hi, "<<name<<"You are"<< age << "years old" << endl;

return 0;
}

I've been putting off learning ladder logic for my company for like 5 years lol.
So we don't have to outsource our PLC problems, I should probably get on that.

interesting, ladder logic, sounds both formidable and fascinating at the same time.

i want to learn about the computing world so that when people talk about stuff, i will finally be able to have an inkling. i HATE the feeling of being in the dark

I want to become a quantum expert. do you think I realistically have a chance? I am 46 years and I also want to have a family. I have only started to learn to code like yesterday.

:cry:


Being sufficient in C++ is obtainable though.
Hit up Python first.

Once you learn one language it's easier to incorporate and understand more difficult ones later on.

that's indeed what I have heard, especially that C++ ( a low-level language) which is like the foundation, or "mother" of other languages, and it's good to start learning here first.

can I ask you how many languages you are proficient in?
