Hey everyone, hope you are all well.
I’m a first year engineering student, and I’m having an incredibly hard time with my introduction to C++ course. I just can’t seem to grasp fundamentals on a level to be able to apply them in the timeframe given by the University.
I know what a for loop is, what bitwise operators are, what arrays are, and etc... But to apply these to new problems, I just can’t yet. I spent two hours yesterday trying to understand how insertion sort works, but just couldn’t grasp it, I could memorize the algorithm, but then that would be pointless.
Am I taking a very wrong approach to coding? It seems to be something very different to anything I’ve encountered in my studies so far. What can I do to be able to know C++ enough to pass the course (I have 3 …

Am I taking a very wrong approach to coding? It seems to be something very different to anything I’ve encountered in my studies so far. What can I do to be able to know C++ enough to pass the course (I have 3 weeks)? I need 46% on the final to get a pass.
I appreciate any advice, thank you!
