Hi. What are the most difficult C++ topics to learn?, Are Pointers one of them?. Thanks

Hello,

This may be too broad of a question for this forum. Can you be more specific? Are you having a concrete problem to solve that involves ROOT and C++?

Cheers,

Hello, sorry, my question would be: What are the most difficult C++ topics to learn for a beginner?. Currently I consider my level of experience / knowledge in C++ to be basic.

I would like to know which C++ topics are generally the most difficult to learn for a beginner so that I know which C++ topics I should study more.

For now, Iā€™m not having problems to solve that involves ROOT and C++. Another question I have is: What are the most difficult C++ topics to learn for a beginner in ROOT?

Hi,

Not sure if the tutorials I am attaching are useful, but it helped me when I was new to ROOT and C++.

Short tutorial on ROOT: Tutorial on ROOT and Data Analysis - DocsLib
ā†’ Extremely short and easy to follow. Not sure if it will cover parts relevant to your specific project, but it was a good start for me.

CERN ROOT: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLybgCU6QCGWLdDO4ZDaB0kLrO3maeYAe&si=nO5XpCqEXhcRdky8
ā†’ Detailed one.

C++: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlrATfBNZ98dudnM48yfGUldqGD0S4FFb&si=DzZkoqB3r-hVwpkS
ā†’ No shortcut for this one. To this day when I revisit this tutorial, I have some new insights. The last videos in this series covers the hardest C++ topic in my opinion.

Hope it helps!
Divyang.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying. In the previous days I had problems with my internet connection, therefore, my internet was very slow. Therefore, while that was happening I started doing some homeworks.

Yesterday my internet connection returned to normal. Thanks to that, I have been able to watch some videos from the C++ course you shared, and I can say that I am enjoying that C++ course. I have learned things that I had never learned in other C++ courses. I hope to be able to finish the entire C++ course in the next days.

On the other hand, in the previous days I found the following on the Internet: Some of the most difficult C++ topics to learn are: Pointers, References, Memory management, Templates and Advanced object oriented programming (virtual functions, polymorphism, etc.). What is your opinion?. Thank you
