Code academy isnt working, where should and can I try next?

Read books, anything else is shit.

It's free, you only pay for some cert that says you completed the course. Failing that get a book on Common Lisp and just start hacking around building random shit.

Have fun, challenge yourself and do random shit.

No fun = no learning.

Books are THE only way. I highly suggest learning C with K&R - it will show you most of what there is to know about the nitty gritty of imperative (a.k.a. best) programming.

freeCodeCamp

This guy is correct. Go here and type in a technology you want to learn about -> http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

>>62225378
follow this advice. Boring as fuck, but its the only way really.

I don't buy into this learning can be fun bollocks, hours of toil.

Hit piratebay for free ebooks, and open pdf one half the screen ide/text editor on the other and work through the text.

Post the code?

You must know that when I literally got 1/100 in 10th grade for Java Coding, there was a re-examination published in the next 2 days. I sat and learned the codes within 2 days and scored 87/100. My teacher was stunned as fuck.

My point is books are a much more practical way to learn rather than online.

>>62225581
is there a difference between that site and http://libgen.io/ ?

Looks like you have some sort of linux distribution where sudo don't come pre-installed. So just go to your package manager and then install it.

>this laptop doesn't have internet rn and I don't have a cord to hook my phone up to it.

It's still funny...

literally koding with klossy level of understanding anything, just go back to windows already

cute whore

>>62229611
What text editor is that?

Learn by building. Tutorials and books didn't teach me shit, but building apps helped me out. Took a long time, but it worked for me.

>>62230589
looks like gedit with a shitty theme

>>62230733
Thanks

>>62230028
srsly?

>where should and can I try next?
I learned by googling tutorials and reading through the documentation. Honestly after you know the basics of if statements, loops, and basic data structures like arrays you can program anything, Start with basic stuff and then move onto more complicated things. Keep learning as you go. Google the best way to do certain things, read through other people's source code. You'll pick up better practices and ideas to make things easier and more efficient. Just keep at it and do what you want to do.

I fixed the problem, I was compiling it as a .h when I should have been compiling it as a .cpp

>>62225367
Just start a project. There's honestly no better way to learn.

>>62225378
books are retarded tho

you can't get hands on knowledge about new technology from books, at least not within a reasonable amount of time

>>62231042
At least you learned!

>>62225367
Sololearn is a pretty good website.

>>62227013
are you saying that KKKarlie KKKloss is a Nazi? why would she love Ks so much?

>>62229611
chmod +x the file

its not executable

>>62229611
your shit compiled you're just retarded

try this >>62231177

>>62231177
btw you don't have to do this in Ubuntus, everything compiles with executable rights present

cute whore

>>62225367
setup your own environment and run examples from tutorialspoint, modify them and make your own shit

>>62231177
The real question is "Why isn't it an executable?". GCC / G++ usually sets the executable bit for you after compiling (at least it does for me on Arch).

I wish summer would end already

>>62231717
waakeee me upp wheeen september endsssss

>>62231514
because OP is using Debian which is retarded on many levels

>>62229611
wot is that header you're including? consider instead
>#include <stdio>
>#include <string>

>>62232234
cin, cout, and string are in the namespace std, so you should either add
>using namespace std;
or reference them as std::cin, std::cout, and std::string
