in gaming, memory management is very important. so learn in depth memory management in c++ and most importantly learn pointers and various data containers

Answer 4

I would say it would be very useful for controlling bots and events. So let's say things like if you don't advance to a certain objective keep spawning enemies..So in that situation you would use an if statement.

Or to trigger events if player passes a certain part in the level then summon rolling boulder behind him.

One other way i've seen it utilized is by telling enemy bots or friendly bot who to shoot if x character is closer than y character then shoot x character, else shoot y character.

In the unreal engine 4 they have the blueprint system so you don't actually have to write code you just drag the functions around and connect them using visual nodes, but you still need to know the core concepts of c++ to know what your actually doing.
