is it hard to learn computer code?

Question

if your a programer.... how long did it take you to learn coding

Answer 1

It basically boils down to the ability to break down a problem into very small steps. Some people find that easy, some don't.

Answer 2

This all depends on what you are looking to code. If you want to do the basic "Hello World" program, any computer book or website could lead even some of the slowest learners through it in less than two hours. As you look to code for more complex problems, then the understanding of the language of course increases.

I started messing with code on my Commodore64 when I was 13 years old. I certainly didn't understand all of the code but I was able to do some basic changes to some of the applications (like give myself a lot of gold on some of the games, change the color of sprites, and other simple changes). I also had the related Commodore magazine that included programs you could type in to make games. Seeing the code and playing around with it gives you an insight into how things work.

If you are interested in coding, look for some online tutorials and pick a compiler that you can get for free or a little money.

Answer 3

You can think of each programming language as being a one to two semester college course. Machine language (if that is what you mean) is something you would learn after you have a good grasp of logic and basic programming skills in at least one or two higher level languages (Basic, C, Pascal, etc). I taught myself Basic programming while I was in high school, using a tutorial on the school's network. If you have the interest and desire, then you probably have the aptitude for it, and it shouldn't be hard for you to pick up. Just don't put the cart before the horse. Learn the basic logical skills first, using an easier language... don't try to start by programming in binary, or think that by studying LISP you will understand artificial intelligence.

Answer 4

The first language, about a year; the second, about 6 months; the third, fourth, and fifth, about 3 months each...it gets faster, because you see similarities and patterns and tendencies, and you learn overall what a computer needs to know and you look, in advance, for the parts of a language that'll tell the computer the things you know you'll need to tell it

Answer 5

IF U WANT TO LEARN IT I'M SURE U WILL :
HERE U ARE SOME INFORMATION:
THE COMPUTER USES THE MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR EXAMPLE WHEN U TYPE A WORD ON THE KEYBOARD THE TRANSLATOR OF THE COMPUTER TAKE IT AND TRANSFORME IT INTO THE MACHINE LANGUAGE (THE BINARY CODE) THE ZERO AND ONE LANGUAGE(0,1) AND THIS IS LANGUAGE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT LANGUAGE OF PROGRAMING BUT I'LL GIVE U AN SMALL ADVICE TRY LEARN FIRST THE OTHER PROGRAMING LANGUAGES LIKE(QBASIC,C,C++,VISUALBASIC........),AND FINALLY GO AND DO IT ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,GOOD LUCK MAN

Answer 6

Just like in Math, when you really understand the basics, such as binary code and how they work to produce more complicated tasks, you'll be able to learn faster.

Answer 7

Learn a code is not difficult, but the ability to understand is up to you.

Advises? practice, practice, practice, jeje

Answer 8

not really but you need to be logical

Answer 9

you mean like COBOL? its not hard at all

Answer 10

No, it is easy.
