What's a good way to practice C++/any language?

Question

I've been teaching myself C++ for about 3 weeks now and I'd say I've learned a good ammount. Only recently though I've started classes in c++. After a straight 6 hours of learning a bunch of different stuff about classes and how to use them and how to use them with pointers, the next day I've seem to have forgotten almost everything. Is there any particular I should learn? Should I do a 1 hour a day type thing?

Answer 1

code...code.....and.....code.......
PRACTICE makes a man perfect...😃😃😃

Answer 2

don't freak out it's ok to forget. No one will remember everything if you can code without much effort day by day then you are learning.

Answer 3

If you tend to forget the things you learn, take notes. That's why in class you'll take notes, so you'll be able to review them later for any reason you need them. Also be sure to cover a subject more then once.

Answer 4

Another tipp: Google for coding practice examples.
Things like code retreats, coding dojos are a great opportunity to practice.
