C++ & Math

I don't write in C++, though I don't think maths is that important. People who don't program seem to think it is. When I tell people i'm bad at Math they always exclaim and say "But you're a programmer?". Maths is really not that important most of the time. Most values are represented by code anyway, so its really just knowing how to string your functions together to get the results you want. Its kinda the whole point...

I don't need to know how to divide 2321 by 432 +3... because it will be written as somthing like CountNumberOfRec/RandomVariable+someOffset.....

Its funny though as in tutorials and early projects a lot of examples are using math, printing integers and doing all sorts of things with them. 90% of that stuff you will never really need to use. Unless you work in specific fields. I have also written games in unity (nothing noteworthy, but functional nonetheless) and maths is not needed there either.

So, it kinnda takes a bit of math and understanding, but you dont need that much as u might think, Coding is much more about the logic and architecture.
I would suggest you taking a look into c# instead of c++, and may switch afterwards, c# is easier to begin with.

You don't need a huge knowledge in math. Software engineering at uni is actually not that much coding. Its more planning and customer interaction. Coding is secondary. They teach you the basics, your job is to do extra work to find how you can complete the task. Even comp sci isn't that much math (you do have to do math courses), but not that many of them.

Remember my sentence well - if you want, you will succeed in everything.

Hi, full-time software engineer of some big company here.

I want to say math is not required to programming. But not knowing math will definitely limits the things you can do.
To make it more relative. I think if you think you can learn photoshop, you can make a pretty website all right. If you know some algebra, you can probably write some scripts for games. If you want to make self-driving cars, you better know your linear algebra and calculus well.

I gotta say, i'm 3 years into programming and only met once a hard math problem, it was about shooting a projectile from where the player is facing. but that was it.
May be because i don't do math related software i think lol

im lowkey stupid when it comes to math.. im learning at a decent pace. if i can i know you 1000% can

Hey im a student and I suck at maths as well XD


Programming is all about LOGIC!
You need to think 99% of the time you're coding anything. Math is pretty easy but some things can mess you up.
