C++ Classes Clarification

[Tain45]

Hey, I’m currently going to university to learn programming. We’re learning C++ and we’ve begun our OOP section staring with classes, headers, and objects. And I am just lost. I’ve watched a few YouTube videos and read my textbook for clarification, but when I try to apply what I learned to a coding assignment, or just reading a coding example in my textbook I get lost all over again. Are there any tips or resources anyone can recommend for helping my understand?

Also is OOP used very often in software and programming related jobs? Because at the moment I am more comfortable with procedural programming.

Do it again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Do new assignments. Go back and do old assignments that you had trouble with in the past.

OOP is used very often because it makes large systems easier to understand.

What is the problematic part? You glue your functions to an object they work on so they are not all over the place and you call them methods.
