About programming and what do you should know before starting it.

Question

Hello to all people , who use Sololearn. I'm beginer in programming and I learn c++ . I learned the basics , about if and else , while , for. I didn't notice much math in programming and I did well in programming , but some people say , that you need to know math really well to do it. I'm a bit scared , because I 'm not really good at math . Please answer. I didn't notice many hard math in c++, but I worry , because maybe I will notice it when I learn more. And how is this situation in java or c# or in py

Answer 1

have a look at c++ codes posted in sololearn.
some are full of mathemagie. Some are coded with a broomstick.
It like music. For some you must study and some great songs were born under the shower.

Answer 2

The knowledge of maths helps a lot in programming but it's not peremptory

Answer 3

This, I believe is not in absolution. All you have to know is your functions and your loops; and when to apply or employ them. Afterwards, you're good to go. With more practice, you'll get yourself familiar with the concepts of C++.
People have done it before you and with more practice, your road to succeed cannot be compromised.
Best of luck!!!+

Answer 4

Depends on your definition of a programmer. If you want a degree from a university, then math is important. Math is not only used to represent models of the world (e.g. special effects...) but calculate the complexity of a program/algorithm. Computers can calculate things really fast, hence it can loop over your program many times. You might not think 1 millionth of a second saved is worth much, but if your program is ran a million times by a million computers that is a million seconds saved.But even if you have a degree, it doesn’t mean you are good at those things.

If you have given directions on how to do something, your a programmer. Programs are just instructions for computers.
