stackoverflow rules and people who enforce them are just stupid, it's usefull to get information though from questions that have been asked though

if you want to understand the baiscs of loops for example, don't read a whole book about it

just pick a small tutorial on the internet about it and read it

then most importantly, write the code for looping by yourself and experiment with it

don't just read stuff, experiment alot and see what happens by yourself

I can understand simple loops. But when it gets complicated like data mining through large datasets from websites and files to find specific info, i just can't do it. Its actually easier for me to through manually all the 100000 rows and columns to find what I want.

Holy fuck.

You truly have no idea what you're talking about and have no idea what the working world is like. That, and you have no idea how far behind automation is for the vast vast VAST majority of jobs. Our lifetimes will still probably not see even close to the majority of jobs automated.

Just because things aren't working out exactly the way you want doesn't mean your life is over. You're going to realize as you go out into the world that things almost never work out how you want. That is to be expected, and is totally ok.

So nested loops?

just have a loop for the row, and a loop inside for the columns

You shouldn't be basing your life around programming if you can't do it. You either get it or don't. And you're dumb for thinking you NEED to know it. You should probably just an hero

Other posters have already said it, but you are fucking ridiculous. There are so many jobs you could do, it's a terrible idea to try to force yourself into a profession you don't understand or enjoy. You're setting yourself up for failure, for absolutely no reason. Pick a different career path

Quoted By:

I don't know... programming sounds like something anyone could get into with enough hard work so I don't know why you're all discouraging him. From what I've heard it's process is like solving puzzles so it keeps your memory fresh and your mind healthy as you get older, and puzzles are kind of fun in it's own way.

Then again, you could also get into other areas like IT or whatever. To be honest as long as I'm making decent money I would be okay with the job

just make sure you know EXACTLY what you're getting into before making a career choice ;D
