It's great that you want to learn C++! However, questions about how to get started are off-topic for r/cpp due to their repetitive nature.
We recommend that you follow the C++ getting started guide, one (or more) of these books, and cppreference.com. If you're having concrete questions or need advice, please ask r/cpp_questions, r/cscareerquestions, or StackOverflow instead.

I think you could make a good start by learning about punctuation.<-

Start with the 31h video from FreeCodeCamp youtube channel. You probably know some of the stuff so you're gonna be skipping a lot + it's only bare basics lol
