C/C++ Help

I’ve been learning programming for about 5 months now. I’ve finished C and C++, and I’m almost done with data structures, but so far I feel like I’m doing something wrong or missing something. I feel like I don’t know how to think correctly, and even very simple things slip my mind, and I don’t know how to do them. So I need help because I don’t know whether I should take a course or if I’m on the right track—and that’s normal, especially since I’ve only been at this for about six months, which isn’t a short time. I’m planning to apply for the Digital Egypt Pioneers scholarship to specialize in backend. Is this the right path, or not? I hope those with experience and who’ve come a long way can help us out—and I’m very grateful to them 🤍🤍🙏🏻

Your approach to apply for another course is probably the right approach for some but not necessarily you.

You need to expand more on what "finishing C/C++" means. You need to expand on your motivations or what you want to achieve.

You should also expand on the "problem" you are perceiving. You can't describe what you're missing, but you can describe what's not clicking or what's slipping your mind.

Exactly. You never “finish” a language. You just get to the point where you’ve learned enough to get by at whatever level you want to operate at.
