Hello,
Just wanted others opinions on this..
So I started working with C a few weeks ago, dropped it and started learning C++ two weeks ago, and suddenly, today... I feel confident I know the basics. I'm not saying I know it super well, or that I could write any program without going back over my notes, or google some parts to make sure I get the syntax exactly straight. I could definitely study a bit more on Arrays, and even strings... But I've come to the conclusion that, they, (computer scientists) seem to make the difficult parts of it like... "Polymorphism, Object Classes vs Sub-classes, pointers and dereferences and Function Overloading stupidly harder than it needs to be... If I was explaining any of these terms to a computer class I feel I could explain it really simply... I don't quite get it, cause its almost like they intentionally keep people from learning it, by using long drawn out explanations or BIG words like POLYMORPHISM... Once you read over those terms from 15 different books or examples, you realize its all REALLY simple. Its a lot to take in just with everything else like compiling, variables and data types, and everything else without the added over complexity of the terms I just stated above.
Does anyone else feel the same about this? Or am I the odd man out with this stuff?
