So do you have to be good at math to be a programmer?

Obvious bait. Don't respond, sage and move on.

Why did you reply?

>>60127490
Not really, unless you need to do something that actually requires the application of mathematics, like graphics and a large portion of real world applications

>>60127627
Literally anything relies on maths in my experience unless you're making indie gaymes.

>>60127490
You have to be good at math to be good at life.

>>60127490
No, but you can't be a great programmer if you aren't at least somewhat good with math.

I think good has to be defined, being "good at math" doesn't mean being a genius savant it just means you at least have the requisite knowledge to study that math problems are solvable for you. A lot of business and web applications don't really require any real math, any math you will do for most problems is already defined and implementing them in actual code is the hard part.

Programming has everything to do with math, functions are introduced immediately and that plays a big roll in mathematics.

Are you good at coding yourself?

It's like blacks being good at running. The melanin itself doesn't improve their speed compared to whitey, but the top runners are all black.

>>60127490
Code monkey? No

or computer scientist? Yes, but not school math

In most programming languages, functions don't entirely behave like mathematical functions. They don't have to return a value, and they don't have to produce the same result when you call them with the same input, because they can mutate global state. The functions we use on a regular basis are more rightfully called procedures.

why do people have so much trouble with symbolic reasoning?
