how vital is an understanding of basic code languages; C, C++,

It's not. Learn PHP and SQL for hacking.

thankyou.

Find vulnerability in code/protocol/logic -> exploit vulnerability -> plant backdoor

basic premise of hacking explained with 0 understanding of programming.

If you want to learn about exploit development and it depends on your goal platform (Processes, databases, web applications, etc) but you should understand how memory allocation works, the stack, pointers, program control at the assembler level, user input validation (especially pitfalls/caveats of common input validation techniques) in popular languages for your platform, and platform-specific info (eg, XSS for web exploits, SQLi for database exploits, buffer overflows and return-oriented programming for C/C++/similar exploits, command injection for applications that pass information to a shell (common enough in web apps)).

Additionally, understand the security practices put in place by the operating systems you're attempting to hack, eg how user privileges are handled, cracking passwords, known attacks (pass-the-hash, privilege escalation exploits), and kernel-levei protections (ASLR, W^X, etc) and their pitfalls.

Learn how to use a unix command line because many tools require it and shell scripting is a godsend.
