I started coding as soon as year 5 of school. It was more learning how to write algorithms at first. This gave me the necessary grounds for being able to solve complex problems in my head by splitting them up. Actual programming started out in year 9 when I first met Pascal, younger programmers probably don't even know what it is(I'm 20 and I say that) 😂. Then I moved on to C and C++ in the following year and that made me realise that all languages are really similar.
