I'm just starting to learn c++. I've had this app for A VERY long time, but I've always wanted to learn... any pointers?

Question

What's the easiest way to retain all this information, and how it all works together?

Answer 1

Practice. When you learn something new, go into code playground and change it to do something slightly different. Doing it will make you remember better than memorizing.

Answer 2

Some retain the information by learning them again and again.

Others retain the information by actually using the learned information.

You're right. I have gotten around half way thru the c++ course, but when I try to make something as simple as "Hello World!" print on my screen, I can't remember how to start, where to main stream, what to include, what to use, where the space is for my name (namespace), or how to function!... So I'm starting all over again. And seeking out ANY pointers that people with more experience might have for a beginner...
