So today I made my first basic program in C++ from scratch that worked! After some troubleshooting.. But I thought of ways I could edit it and make it better!

Why do you have an extra indentation for the of and else clause?

Next task could be: pass grade and goal as arguments to the main. 😉

it weird to read if goal is less than grade. usually the order would be if grade < goal you fail. the variable is on left and constant on right

@itsmill3rtime I had it like that but I changed it

@Yeah69 could you explain what that means a little? I'm sorry I'm just new to all of the words

Congrats keep coding

@itsmill3rtime for evaluating conditions the constant then variable style is better so you don't make errors like :
if( goal = 57)

@byte Ironically, this code is errored. Should be ==

@SpencerBeige it was meant to show an error
if( variable = constant) => true but wrong output
but
if(constant = variable) => does not compile
Thus
if(constant == variable) => true and correct output

@Bubbles I could give you a shitty explanation (because I cannot explain well) or you could Google it and are likely to find a good description.

Please, make it a habit to search for new keywords yourself first, before asking for an explanation. In the Internet there is a ridiculous amount of information to anything for free.

It is a good thing that you asked us for feedback to give you some pointers on the right direction, but going the way yourself is part of the process ;)

The keyword to search here is "program options" or "program arguments".

@Yeah69 Okay thank you! I will get into the habit of doing that!!

BTW if I Google a specific programming matter, I always prefer the results leading to stackoverflow. It is a really good Q&A community for anything related to programming.

@Yeah69 I've noticed that, is there any other sites to look for?

@Bubbles to my knowledge there is no other site like stackoverflow. There are some worthy blogs I guess. But they don't cover as much and are often spezialised.

@Yeah69 Okay thank you!!
