Btw if you're wanting to get into programming please for the love of god don't start with something like C++. Languages like the C-family are meant to be efficient and explicit, which can add like 5 layers of confusion to learning to program. Starting with python is nice because

1. a lot of python tutorials are innately aimed towards beginners
2. python is DESIGNED to not be miserable to program in
3. you can pretty easily start making little scripts for projects without having to have an intimate relationship with your processor

If you focus on the theory within programming, a majority of things you learn in python will at least partially carry over to different languages. For example, can change the question from "what is a loop", to "what is the loop structure in C++", which is a much easier question to answer. Also related PLEASE pick simple manageable projects to learn with. starting with something big is an amazing way to immediately get overwhelmed and burned out. It may be cliche but start with something like a number guessing game or printing the fibonacci sequence. Good luck out there 👍
