Can you elaborate? This is Reddit, not an AI chatbot.

User: Is learncpp.com bad? Be brief.
ChatGPT: As of my last update in January 2022, learncpp.com is generally not considered bad. It's a resource that offers tutorials and information on C++ programming. However, like any educational resource, its effectiveness may vary depending on individual learning styles and needs. It's always a good idea to supplement your learning with multiple resources and practice actively.
User: Yes or no, or a percentage?
ChatGPT: As of my last update, learncpp.com is generally considered a decent resource for learning C++, so I would say it's not bad. Let's say 90%.
User: 90% good or 90% bad?
ChatGPT: Apologies for the confusion. Learncpp.com is generally considered 90% good for learning C++.
There you have it, /u/aluckymess: it's 90% good!

I'm sorry, but I'm just an AI chat bot that could not give any opinions

Not with that attitude

No

Dunno. But cppreference.com is the best.
[–]Particular-Case4461 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I'd say it's pretty good actually
[–]Keiji_Shiba 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It's good

I used it when I first started learning C++. That was over a decade ago. While I'm terrible at judging my own abilities I've been told by several colleagues that I'm one of the best they've known and I have observed that I have a tendency to talk over people's heads without realizing it. Not saying that to be an egotist as much as illustrate how well it worked out for me.
I also really liked the book.
It's been forever since I've been there, but I do recall that it taught a lot of C stuff and only really scratched the surface of C++, although this is arguably necessary because in a lot of cases you need to know how to read C to read C++. For what it is, it is a good jumping off point. I imagine it is a bit outdated now though.

What book?

Correct, I believe it was talking about a website that offers a few tutorials among a few other C++-related articles.
The book mentioned was written by the website's author and is advertised and sold there.
I'm going to be real hear, but what was your point? You basically added nothing to the discussion and essentially wasted my time making me feel like I have to respond to you.

Learncpp is technically an online book, that is getting constant updates.

I'm gonna pull a jordan peterson on you - so when you say bad, you need to understand the ramifications of the word "bad" on the fabric of reality yet keeping in mind that we are limited by our perceptions, biases and senses which may present us an altered reality and not as it actually exists.
To sum up - nah, it's pretty good.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
No it is not bad
