Ya I did the same Magi (although not java and c++). At my high school, they removed c++ and java as they stated in the report "Too complicated for the student's knowledge at an early age".
So now they are offered at university but not at my nearest university as the financial stability of the market has caused so many people to lose their jobs (especially computing engineers). Good thing my mother's company needs her capabilities (she did code a program that is being used by 22 (can't clearly remember) different countries and that she told me on my birthday and she normally doesn't brag about those things

).
Besides, my mother told me that programming should be my last option if I really want to settle down in life and I agree. I find it more entertaining to play around with numbers (maths). After all, the most enjoyable thing in maths is the amount of complex and difficult questions and I love it!
Besides, apart from me and dad, mum doesn't even touch the computer apart from bringing work to home and spending long hours on them and sometimes forgets to sleep until I smash the door down and tell her to sleep (not literally but you get the point).
And from all of these messages, I'm getting the feeling that you guys are above the age line of 22 or 23 or even above. Man I feel young and that isn't the first. I mean, I went to my old school for work experience in teaching and all of the Maths C students called me "Sir" the moment I entered the room. Seriously speaking, that was the room I spent in for the two years of my senior high school (Grade 11 and 12) studying Maths C and my favourite teacher was there too (back then we called it the "Cold Room" because it was freezing in the mornings whenever you entered it).
Your right Lucifer. VB does tend to make some ways for the lazy side of things but idk how Phyton will help me change but I'll give it a try when I finally get some free time. Right now I need to work on three assignments and then a supplementary exam (forced) due this Friday and then another one next Monday. Seriously, I wish they would stop giving me more than what my hands can hold
Interestingly enough, it's the engineering side of coding that I've never actually gotten to seeing. Like I did first year as a Engineering student before dropping it. During that time my teammates dealt with the programming of a robot. It was mad. They coded it so that the robot could dance!

It was epic!

However, when I looked at their code, it blew my mind. I understood the basic functions but the way they coded it, I was surprised that the robot even moved
