Since I had last posted about Codewars I have been spending more time trying out the challenges, and I realize now how valuable it is a tool to develop your coding skills. The last challenge I did required for me to create a function that would evaluate value x and return certain words based on whether the number is divisible by 3, 5, 3 and 5, or neither. I knew how to evaluate whether a…

This tutorial is at BeginnersCPP.com and it holds a pretty extensive collection of video tutorials that are suitable for beginners to the C++ language. I’m not sure if I would say that they would be right for beginners to coding in general,…
"Recommending a C++ beginner’s tutorial"I’ve made it far enough in my the BeginnersCPP.com tutorials that I was able to tackle the first of their code challenges! The goal was to write a program that could determine whether or not a number was a prime number. I did have to look up how to determine whether there would be remainders when dividing, but it turns out that was very similar to Python! This is what I came up with: #include…
