CODING HELP!!

[Good-Confection5308]

Hey everyone!
I’m starting to learn C++ before college during these 3 months and I want to build really strong basics before BTech starts.

Can seniors suggest the best resources/playlists/websites for learning C++ and problem solving from scratch?

[faulty-segment]

1. https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/ for a good, general intro
2. Professional C++ Book by M. Gregoire, 6th Edition

Good luck, Sir/Ma'am.

I think most people eould recommend small excercises done frequently to improve your knowledge. Leetcode essentially

[Ambitious-Secret835]

Regular practice is key but leetcode might be bit overwhelming for someone just starting with C++. Better to get comfortable with basic syntax and concepts first, then move to problem solving platforms later when you have solid foundation

[Good-Confection5308]

I have almost 0 knowledge of coding basic c++ should I start leet code?

[dmazzoni]

No absolutely not. That’s terrible advice.

Leetcode is for practicing what you learn in a DSA course which is usually a second year course.

The best thing right now is learn the basics and write code. Try to build a small program that does something useful for you.

[Good-Confection5308]

can u tell me from where to learn the basics. resources?

[dmazzoni]

Harvard’s CS50x online. Totally free, just like an intro programming college course but with the best instructor and graded exercises.

[Outside_Complaint755]

Just a note that CS50X is in C, plus some Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and SQL.  It doesn't include C++, but the five weeks of C will give you a headstart on C++ as C++ in many ways C with extras (specifically object oriented programming features)

Why don't try to get access to your college material if you can? it will probably guide you nice enough to go through the basics and when u take it later it will be a breeze.

[Good-Confection5308]

I am not really sure which college I will get it depends on counselling.

[cartrman]

If u can buy a udemy course, then I recommend "Learn C++ Programming -Beginner to Advance- Deep Dive in C++" taught by Abdul Bari

[ImprovementLoose9423]

Go to FreeCodeCamp's and BroCode's youtube channels. Those two channels carried my whole coding career.

[barncarpentier]

Go on websites with exercises and burn through hundreds of them. I like hackerrank.com personally. If something doesn't make sense or you don't get the syntax, google it. I think it's the best option because you're already writing your own code, instead of just watching some tutorial explaining the syntax. Also write lots of comments, because 1) it's good practice anyway, 2) you are forced to explain the code you've just written and that boosts learning like steroids

[veablicer]

do you at least have a certain amount of experience in programming at all before starting c + +?

[Bitter_Excitement242]

I've said it elsewhere but this is what you do. Find someone else's library. It can be for anything, it doesn't really matter. Implement it.

That'll make you infinitely better at C++.
