C and C++ are, despite their age, some of the most used programming languages across the globe and are among the first ones taught in schools and universities. If you are taking a programming course right now, there are big chances you are struggling to learn one of these 2 languages.
I first started studying C++ (actually, it was mostly C, with just a few elements of C++) when I went into high school. Back then, I found this programming language quite confusing and difficult. After 4 years of studying it through high school, I still wasn’t understanding it very well. I don’t know if it was because of my teacher’s inability to deliver us the right ideas or because of my laziness, or perhaps a combination of both…
But the idea is that after I completed my high school studies, I still wasn’t confident in my programming skills although I had quite good grades. Now I wanted to go to University to study Computer Science, but I was a little afraid… I still understand neither C nor C++; many things confused me about these languages.
So, what I was thinking? With about 3–4 months before starting my first undergraduate year, I decided to search…
