[Grinch_]

Hello guys.I am just a kid of 14 years on 8th grade.I am vwry interested in computer.So i started to learn about GTA games when i was 11.Now 2 years have passed i can do a lot from the orginal game but still suffering on the coding part.I already started learning #C in Code Blocks.I started very well.But i had some problems..in the using of for & while tag.I eman i know there usage but when i try to make up a program by my self i make the program but i cant identify​ when i can use them?Now learning fuction.It seems very easy to me. but cause of the problems i had with for and while tag...after some time i lose my attention to programming and my mi d just flows away to other things...Like TV show,Persons etc...but cant focus on the coding..but i want to be a programmer...so i really try my best to lear n cosing but after testing 2 or 3 programs..i get tired some how...Like its just 9 Pm...i opened my computer...I usually sellp at 1 but when i start coding i get bored....and lost my attention..and if i just go to bed for anyhow..i fall asleep...So can anyone suggest a way how can i keep my full attention on coding?

Thanks.

Start very(very very) small. Make small little programs that don't do much but are a complete project by the end.

 

My first ever program was a coin flipper. You hit space bar and either "heads" or "tails" was displayed on the screen. It was a very rewarding program and I felt accomplished. I was able to expand on it to where it kept stats and all.

 

I wrote that little program in 1979. And now I'm a programmer in real life.

Thanks bro.Really helpedbut thinking of moving to #C++ cause of my main target is Joining a Video Game developer Company.So C++ should be best for me.

Yes, C++ is the industry standard. Other languages are used, but that's the core.

 

Also, keep in mind that most companies are heavily moving towards C++11 or newer, so if you are learning it from scratch, you should try and find books and/or tutorials that are based around C++11 or C++14. Understanding old style C++ and even C are still helpful, however.
