Is it possible to post anime on the board made for it?

Is it possible to ask questions in the thread dedicated to questions?

no

No, the closest you can get is frankensteining together code written by a single person in a single language.

You still need to properly direct the outputs of your system even then though.

Here's what you do if you wanna be a real faggot tho, learn about 4 days worth of an easy language, then go find quality code written in that language and just strap whole code sections together, pasted together by your minimalist knowledge until something useful happens.

Then go back and comment out huge swaths of code and test it, try your best to strip it as base as possible with the result you want still coming out.

There, you've basically replicated real life natural selection.

As far as I can tell you want to avoid reading anything particularly verbose or heavy like books or complex documentation.

If that's the case then yes, you can learn a language that way, I taught myself to program in basically the same manner when I was 13, just using simple online tutorials, usually a different one for each thing I was trying to do, and Stack Exchange.

Couple things to note though:

1. I was shit for years. When you learn that way it's very difficult to get a good idea of the kind of things you can do. A book or a course will walk you through all of the features and techniques available to you, this approach won't. For example, when I moved from Python to C++, I didn't know C++ had these things called references and the const specifier that make your code way more efficient and clear, and I wrote really crappy junk for months until I found out.

2. If you want to use more complex libraries, you will eventually need to read ugly documentation. Or at least be able to skim it. Though by this stage you'll hopefully understand enough that the documentation won't seem so impenetrable.

3. This will only teach you how to program. If you learn C in this manner for example, you'll probably end up able to write C code that technically works, but to understand C from an efficiency perspective you really need to understand the underlying assembly that you're generating and that's not something you'll get this way, you'll only find that in a course or a book.

Is it possible to write a book just by copy-pasting phrase from other books?

>Yes

indians thrive this way
you'll be fine

>>57245042
That's how I got through my programming course

>>57245042
thats how i learned!

Thank you for reminding me to go and play love live, I would have forgot otherwise.
