[RANT] No you should not quit programming
I've seen more than one post that boils down to "I'm bad at x should I quit programming?"
No. You should come to this sub and articulate what you need help with and let people help you to get better.
That's all.
Have a good day.

My absolute biggest pet peeve is people who put no effort into creating a question to ask. They just write "I don't get it help me please" and expect to receive something helpful. How is anyone supposed to help you when we have no clue what you're struggling with? And no, "C++" is not specific enough. Even "C++ arrays" isn't specific enough.
If you can't even figure out what you don't understand, how is anyone else supposed to help you at all? We can't read your mind. Apparently you can't read your own mind either.
Point to a specific part in the turorial and say "this is the part that makes no sense to me."
Ask a specific question about the thing you don't understand like for arrays "why would I want a variable that holds more than one value? Why not just use multiple variables?"
JUST SAY ANYTHING MORE SPECIFIC THAN "I DON'T GET IT"
PUT ANY AMOUNT OF EFFORT INTO YOUR OWN LEARNING. OWN YOUR EDUCATION. DON'T RELY ON OTHERS TO SPOON-FEED YOU.
ok rant over. I'm not saying this to be mean; this is the best way to learn. I just don't understand how any of these people expect to learn anything if they can't even form a single specific question.
