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?


Zero, poked around in and could continue if I wasn't lazy with my brain 2, a markup language I learned in college which you could probably guess, and very little in python.
I'm in a jack of all trades kinda IT position where I learn a little of everything enough to be dangerous then not much more.
We don't do much coding, and if we need some swift application to say ping certain PLC's or devices without typing them in one by one we usually use AI to create the interface.

There's not much there in technical terms if at all.

Sometimes I really wish I had started earlier

C++ made me want to cry. So I stared learning python.

I dunno. Couldn't wrap my head around it. Python was just easier for me.

Im learning c ++ right now, honestly its not too bad. I just need a bit of mental effort to get past the while loop.


Where did you get stuck on?

While loops got me for a bit in python too. Mostly because I would leave open conditions and end up in infinite loop errors. So basically unless it was a simple yes or no answer with two options I would just use a for or try loop with good iterations and limits.

Helps to think about code like PEMDAS imo. Follow the order of operations and all parentheses need closer brackets. Navigate to the equalizer and your loops will never occur.
