How I learned Algorithm

Published Jul 03, 2019

About me

I am a self-taught programmer. I did not get a programming education from any institution. I learned with passion I did the small task I wanted to do.

Why I wanted to learn Algorithm

An algorithm is the brain of a computer. each software runs according to the algorithm that was built. so to learn programming, I have to be able to learn algorithms.

How I approached learning Algorithm

I studied algorithms in C ++ as an introduction.
C ++ helps me understand how to write programs that can be understood by computers.

Challenges I faced

I often have trouble understanding how pointers work in C ++. but after I understood it, it turned out that using pointers actually made programming more interesting for me.

Key takeaways

I really enjoyed when the functions I wrote went well. and then add a little more improvisation to make it more exciting.

Tips and advice

Anyone who wants to learn programming, should learn C ++ before learning another language.
it will be very difficult if you start with a high-level language before understanding the basic foundation of programming.

Final thoughts and next steps

The latest technology must be studied. Golang is the next target.
