You should worry about concepts before language. Once you understand a concept, say the concept of writing methods/functions (different languages call them different things even though they are the same thing), you can write methods/functions in other languages once you understand the syntax of that language. Get a good book on algorithms and exercise your mind and be open to the concepts. That will help you far more than learning the syntax of a particular language.

Why isn't there an option for 'Not possible?' No one, no matter coding experience, years with C++, etc, will ever understand EVERY FACET of the language. In fact, we can say the same for all languages.

I disagree, especially since the language has been created and you can look up the author(s) names. I think I know 80% or so about everything you can use in C so far. You're all confusing general programming theories with actual languages.

It took me exactly 13.4 seconds to master C++, and then I proceeded to discover the key to the universe, and became a badass C++ coding super hero. Oh wait, that didn't happen. I dunno, it's really hard to find time for learning C++ when I have so much other crap to do, it'll happen sooner rather than later though. Might take me a few days to master it however ;) ;)
