New Topic/Question

Okay, this question might sound silly, but how do you prepare for a coding final? This is my very first language i learned (C++) and i have struggled a bit. I have in class assignments and homeworks to reference to, but i seem to confused my rules of coding sometimes. I can do a code 90%, but i get stuck. We have always worked in groups for in class work as well as on my homeworks, so naturally i struggle more when i code alone. We are also going to be timed so that is even more nerve wracking. Also, when i compile my code, i'll get error codes that i have trouble understanding as it doesn't tell you the exact error or the line the error is on.
I feel very certain that i'm not going to pass my final. I understand this is my first language i've learned, but i thought i'd be more confident by now after studying it in school for 3 months. I feel a bit hopeless right now.

I don't think the instructor is going to require your code to be flawless.
Instead of worrying about the actual code, I would just do some problem solving, and think about how you would do that in C++. Programming is just glorified problem solving. As long as you can solve a problem, you should be fine. If you're truly worried about the language itself, just browse through your text book, or http://www.cppreference.com. I think the best thing you can do for yourself is not freak out. If you're more relaxed, you'll be able to think clearly.
Good luck.

Thank you. I am freaking out a bit too much so that won't help. I will try what you suggested.
