Why Can't I Code in C After So Long of Using Windows?

[Red Squirrel]

For most of my teenage years I was spending hours a day, every day, using Windows which is mostly written in C.

Despite this I can't write simple code like Hello World? and what's your name?, or even create a for loop that counts to 10.

I actually want to learn "C++" because I want to code GPU drivers and most are made in C++.

But I feel like if I can't learn C after so long of using Windows, I don't have what it takes to learn C++.

Nope. The simple things are really easy. But systems programming like drivers? That would take a lot of staring at the screen to figure out.

That's Hello World: https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c_compiler

So easy, no?

Enroll in some free Udemy courses. Or there's really great C/C++ tutorials on Youtube.

I believe you can achieve intermediate level easily. Advanced stuff is hard. That is for the real geniuses out there.

I'm a hobbyist C/C++ programmer. Passed the 42 Piscine. Currently enrolled in their Cursus (an intense 600+ day program). That upped the difficulty level to 11. Been giving me a headache the past few months. I froze my account and currently trying to figure out what to do. These intense programs are hard with a full time job.

What does using Windows have to do with your inability to understand C program language?
Most people who use Linux can't write effective code either.

It a parody thread.

A parody thread only works when forum members have bothered to read the original thread it is parodying. 😄

Why Can't I Speak Japanese After So Long of Watching Anime?

For most of my teenage years I was spending hours a day, every day, watching anime in Japanese with English subtitles. Despite this I can't say simple phrases such as how are you? and what's your name?, or even count to ten in Japanese. I actually want to learn "CHINESE" because I want to...

Or have at least seen the thread title. Seems that with every parody thread ever, I notice the parody long before I ever see the one it's parodying. (Then, of course, there's always that brief moment of trying to work out which thread was the 'real' one.)

I see what you’ve done here
