somebody on another forum i go to said he mastered C++ at 8...do you think that's possible?(he's 21+ now) and what do you think is the requirements for mastering? knowing more than just the syntax, how to use every function in the C++ header files(not C), where all the functions are?

of course it's possible

but what he probably means is merely that he knew how to program fairly well in C++ (though of course it's possible that he was already the greatest programmer in the world at 8

)

Programming is mostly a way to think.

Everything else is syntax.

I learned most of the non API stuff in VB at age 10. While I would never program in VB today, that experience helped me to prepare for coding in C and then later Java and C++.

If I learned basic VB at age 10, I'm sure there are plenty of people who learned basic or intermediate C++ programming at age 8. And with that said, there are probably a few who learned more advanced programming at age 8.

First "language" I learned was the one used in dos batchfiles...
I learned basic after that.

But, I too think it's possible to learn c at a very young age.

Yeah, batch programming all the way! I started batching around 7 or so, actually.

But yes, my first real programming language was VB (a little access macros, then full coding) at age 8.

Err ok, reuploaded.

Yup, I've seen people code like that before, but never quite to that extreme.

Looks like A H A H A - T E H E = T A H A W to me.

Oops, looked at A - E = W, and H - H = A and just assumed the rest would work.
