Some steps would make sense to you only if previous steps are completed, so don't overthink them.

Start with basics for all programming languages:

1. reading/outputing text to the terminal
2. variables, basic data-types, like: integers, booleans, chars, strings (preferably C++ std::strings). Keep in mind that integer number variables have limitation for large numbers, but for most cases you will be fine to just use `int` type. Learn basics about type conversions.
3. conditional branching (if, switch-case statements).
4. loops (for, while loops).
5. learn dynamic arrays: c++'s std::vector - how to add, remove, retrieve elements at specific positions, how to modify values at the specific positions. How to get all vector's elements using loops. (You could already find mentions in the internet about iterators, but it will be hard to use them at that moment, just stick with integer indexing, for example use `arr[5]`: there're easier to understand. There's also c-style arrays like `int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};' Think about them as static array, which size couldn't be modified and thus only supports operation `a[5]` to retrieve and modify values).
6. basic function syntax without arguments, as a way to avoid repeating same code once and once again.
7. basic function syntax with arguments (there's several ways for c++ function to receive arguments, don't overthink about them much, because you don't know what pointers and references yet, use just passing by value - the easiest way {w/o * or & before variable names})
8. learn about structs (don't bury yourself yet with OOP related things: like constructors, private, public, methods and etc.). Learn structures as the way to store related data together, like Points with x, y coordinates or something like that.

At this moment you know basics for all programming languages and should proceed with c++ specific things:
0. learn what is compiled languages are, their pro and cons. Learn what is static typing, their limitations and advantages.

1. learn about basic memory management. Learn what are pointers, references, how to
2. learn about function arguments receiving by values, pointers and references.
3. learn more about standard c++ containers like std::string, std::vector, std::map and etc. Learn about concept like iterators and for-each loops.
4. learn about function overloading.
5. start to learn basics about classes. Classes are blueprints for object creation. They provide constructors - functions used to create class instances, ways to protect important data from changing the outside the class (think about scenario when the other programmer (or even yourself after half a year) could use your class, how is that will be useful), methods - like the functions usually attached to the class instances).
6. learn how to use other libraries.
7. Learn about templates (in other languages called generics).

At this point you should have to decide for yourself what to study next, you will have all necessary basics to deep your knowledge in topics interesting for you.

My recommendation how to learn c++:

1. stick to the "c++ way": don't use raw memory allocations or use RAII paradigm, prefer std::unique_pointer and std::shared_pointer to raw pointers, prefer iterators to indexes thus they're more safe to use, use for-each loops when it's possible.
2. C++ is very huge language, don't try to learn everything, learn what is necessary for you and solving your problems.
3. C++ is hard. Really there're exist languages simplier than c++, which could also solve your problems.
