In C++, logic plays an enourmous role. I feel I have no logic whatsoever. I know a good bit of code but I can not make a program whatsoever. Did anyone else have this problem? How could I overcome this problem of logic?
Help will be greatly appreciated, thanks ahead.
No, I never had that problem but the only way around it seems to be going through it. You NEED logic to code and to gain the skills neccessary to be logical you have to practice using logic. Through the use and practice of logical activities you can gain the neccessary skills. So my advice in a nutshell, practice.

The Rules
Program that for a 2 user game.
Then expand to N users.
This will make you more confident about your logical shortcomings.
Also, Wikipedia has some interesting articles on logic, and the offshoots of logic.
Oh haha, really good man, you really got me. How about posting something useful maybe?
Its actually a really simple program for 2 users man.
Just have each of those with an array that has the selection at 0, all the stuff that beats it as a positive, all the stuff that it beats as negative. then check.
the basic principles are found in the rules of boolean algebra and the operation of logic gates. learning how to solve/simplify logic equations using DeMorgan's laws and Kernaugh maps is a good idea, too.
Code:int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000 <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000 )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}
How about an example of what you are having trouble with? Programming logic isn't really that hard.
But, if you are are new to programming (in the first few weeks of a programming class, for example) it can be tough, because you have to learn what programming is all about, how programs run/work, as well as learning C++ and how to use your compiler. I remember being really lost in my first programming class. It gets easier with your 3rd or 4th programming language.(Except for C++... Most of us will never learn C++ completely... There's a lot to it... You can't even find a book that covers the whole language!*)
You need to start-out by knowing what the program is supposed to do. Then, you can make a list, outline, or flowchart of how to get "from point A to point B."I know a good bit of code but I can not make a program whatsoever.
If you are given a homework assignment, most of that "outline" will be given (or hinted at) in the assignment. If not, there will be some good hints in the lecture/reading.
It's important to know the kinds of things you can do in a program:
Loop: Do stuff over & over.
Make decisions based on conditions: if-statements & switch-case statements.
Make calculations and comparisons.
Input / output: Keyboard, display, disk, printer, etc.
I usually make an outline, and I write it in the form of comments... starting each line with "//". Then, I start filling-in the actual code, and I'll edit the comments as I go-along so that the final comments to make them more "comment-like", and describe what the program is actually doing, rather than what it's supposed to do.
