Is Math and all the f=x needed for coding? I'm starting my way off to college as a freshman this fall, and I wanted to take Information Technology for Advanced Certificate in Coding. But I'm terrible at Math and want to learn code. I want to carry this knowledge into a GAME based enviorment.\
TL;DR
Is Math needed for C++,C#,C,Java etc etc
Yes, pretty much overall math helps you to think faster and solve your issues faster because while studying math it improves your way of thinking and so on.
Why is there isn't a
half YES and half NO? O_O
well, basically part yes, as what like George says but in my opinion no, it aint just math, you also need a 'logical/critical' thinking when it comes to coding like
'what would be the outcome if I try this instead of this'. etc.
From some of my very basic understanding. the only math you will need is how to add, subtract, multiply, devide, understand variables, understand what "<" and ">" and "^" means. (For Java anyways) its just basic math. but as sakiyuji said, math is the least of your problems. "var" "if" "and" "or" "else" are the main fkers you will have difficulty in.
TL:DR. only basic math is needed but there are much harder things you need to think about too
also these > while...do or do...while and also the nested if and loopings and such. '-'Quote:

Depends on what kind of coding you do
unless you're looking to do the physics for the next crysis game engine, probably won't need more than rudimentary calc l0l and common sense
Definitely. Although, it's not just the math itself, but also the way of solving problems. The logic and insight that are required to be good at math are also required for programmers in game industries, probably all coding industries.
Not to mention, programming takes a lot of logical thinking, just like math.Quote:
