Question

Can you learn java without going to college? just with internet and courses in youtube and stuff, And what courses u need in math? is it real that u should be so good in math to learn programming?!

Thank You! 😊

Answer 1

You do not need to be in college. For example, I myself am in high school, and I almost finished the JavaScript course. I have also written some codes with JavaScript. Although I’d say math is quite important in coding. Nevertheless, never give up in coding.😊

Answer 2

When it comes to learning absolutely any programming language (and nearly everything else in computer science), you can learn it all through courses online and the documentation of the language. College/University, in my opinion, is more for people who would need help getting the resources for learning what they need to know, so learning it at home would be a good option if you already know where you can start learning (Sololearn is a great place to start).

Answer 3

Math is quite important for programming, especially when you need to create algorithms and such for your programs. How much math you need to know depends on where you want to go with programming, as some things will require more complicated math than others. If you're just programming as a hobby, then knowing only basic arithmetic and algebra is all you would really need, but I would recommend looking into things like factorials, roots, powers, etc. as they can be pretty useful in some cases.
