Methodology of Learning C++ for a Beginner
It wouldn't be figurative if I say I'm a complete stranger to the world of programming. I learned Biology not Computer Science as a subject in +2 and when I started learning BSc Physics, I realized the need to know at least one programming language and I started learning here. But Now I feel like it's not helping me. I've spent 4 months here and only learned the basics. I've been working diligently on this but too slow. Do you guys have any idea what should I do? I would love to hear from you, your suggestions and thoughts. Enlighten me.

Mathew J James Learning any language helps learning the next language.
In you case, you may have more fun to learn python first because:
1) it is a script language, no need for a compiler. more immediate results.
2) less verbose - you can focus on learning algorithms, without the complex and very strict c++ syntax that is sometimes in the way ;-)
3) for later: lots of libraries are available, maybe some directly applicable to your scientist/biology background.

first of all try to choose your favourite pro-language but be careful as you gonna regret yourself badly at the end,divide the course into topics and revise but the most important fact is that tell and teach others about it..only those listein to you..THANK YOU MAJESTIC.. don't forget to contribute😦😦😰

Have you tried python? With your background you may be able to use it more readily. And through using it you will pick up some stuff useful for c++.

mmmh. I thought you had the choice. Sometimes it is difficult to learn 2 languages at the same time, because the syntax is similar but not quite the same....
what is stopping your progress in c++?

Mathew J James , if you are clever enough to study biology and physics, you have what it takes to learn the basics of C++. You may even enjoy it ;-)
Do not worry about where the others are. Just try out, start slowly, this is the sort of things better learned by doing than by reading.
Happy coding!

Out of curiosity, what do you want to use it for? Do you ave a specific problem to solve or is it for general knowledge?

one way could be to try python for fun, but then figure out how to do the same thing in C++.
:-)
But that's going to be even more time consuming!!!!

the c++ sololearn course is covering the basics well. if you practice and post your code we can help fixing the mistakes.

ifl I don't know, clearly. It eats a lot of my time. Maybe because I am doing it the same way I learn Physics, connecting things.

ifl Thank you very much for your time as well as for your suggestions and I will reach out to you when I am in trouble with C++, if that's okay. ☺️

learn by books, YouTube guides and just practice!

The Dark Lord Thank you, I will try this. Yeah I know it'll take time but I am bit anxious about it. Most of my classmates know C++. But not me. 😔

Michał Grochowski Do you have any recommendations for the book?
