Internship has taught me that as long as you know one good language then you can do anything in other language with a little bit help from online.

Unless it's c++.

c++ has pointer.

That means you're fucked.

That also means you're in for a lot of fun.

No it means 1. You need to use modern c++ 2. You have a lot to learn about pointers

@datahack Yes that's the point of the post. I need to learn pointer more in depth before I can master the language.

Pointers are not that hard to understand. They just have a bad reputation. Have fun learning :D

*(myArr * 3 + 2)

C and Assembly have them too. Have fun shooting your own leg while trying to shoot your own head. But all jokes aside. they are fun.

golang has pointers too :)

So does C#, amazingly.

From Joel Spolsky:

"I’ve come to realize that understanding pointers in C is not a skill, it’s an aptitude. [...] They are having a good ol’ time learning C or Pascal in college, until one day the professor introduces pointers, and suddenly, they don’t get it. They just don’t understand anything any more."
