Learning C++

I put Javascript on hold and decided to learn C++ first. I'm convinced if I can figure out C++ my brain will understand programming overall and it will make learning other computer languages easier.

I'm taking two courses at the local community college: Intro to C++ and Intro to Data Management Systems. So far I really like the Intro to C++ course, but I'm not quite at the point where I feel comfortable with the language. Granted, I've only had 3 classes as of today. Last week we had to write a BMI calculator from scratch. It took me a while to figure out. She gave us the math formula, but we had to figure out the entire program in our compiler. Once I got the hang of int and float, it made a little more sense.

This week, though, our assignment is harder, and I'm struggling. We're doing Switch and If and Else. Our assignment is to build a insurance rate calculator. There are a bunch of different variables. In my next post, I'm going to work through the code until I figure it out.
