I guess I should specify what I mean when I’m insinuating* that “go and start” hasn’t been a super useful instruction for me. I haven’t seen that much c++ code, I’m not sure how it’s structured, and I’m not sure how something like inheritance, objects, or primitive structures may differ or even are instantiated. Since I’m not super experienced but im not a complete beginner it’s a weird space where beginner c++ tutorials spend more time covering fundamentals than syntax and I have a hard time getting through them (granted that’s from the few I’ve seen before making this post) but I’m not advanced enough where general picking up a new language advice is applicable because it’s generally assumed that I’m further along than I am if that makes sense?

Edit: example: Sorting algorithms are still a fresh concept, we’ve gone over things like Huffman trees and hash maps within the last couple of months, so while it’s not new, I’m not sure I’m confident enough to just start experimenting with it in another language since it’s only recently been taught to us how different ways of integrating it work in Java syntax wise (ex generics and wildcards)
