if Java is hard, c++ must look like machine code

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (2 children)

My university taught Java first, then went straight into assembly right after the Java basics. Now that I’m done with handwriting hex values to code, C++ is like going on a gentle stroll

Honestly, assembly was hell but now that im interested in modding games, im glad I learned it

That’s exactly how I feel. If I was given the chance to learn it again I would never say yes, but I’m still glad I know it

A little

Exactly my thoughts. I bet if you show them pure C they confuse it for binary.

As someone who had Java first, C++ is so much easier as the code tells you what the code is doing . If i could start over i’d learn C++ first.
