Someone is in my situation ?

Question

I explain, I left mathematics in secondary education, I do not know much more than add, subtract, multiply. I am in a higher degree, for now I am doing well in terms of logic exercises, as soon as I get a math exercise I don't know how to do it, I am afraid of not being a good programmer because I would like to create applications to help others I don't want my dream to be fenced only by mathematics.

Sorry I am Spanish :)

Answer 1

all you really need to know nowadays is PEMDAS (solve in the order of parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction) but even then, most equations can be searched on google and itll tell you how to solve it. you’ll be okay!

Answer 2

After school, I left maths behind and didn't do more than calculating a few numbers - for 20 years.

For many programming tasks, just basic arithmetics will be good enough, so don't worry, especially not in the beginning!

Also, even if you left maths behind a while ago, it doesn't mean that you can't learn a few new things here and there.

Just worry about the next step of your coding journey and be confident it will work out.

P. S.: You need to divide too! 😁
