What do you need to know before learning a programming language?

Question

Programming

Hello. My question is: what you MUST know before learning any programming language? Is it enough to read a logic textbook and know a school course in mathematics? Or do you need something else?

Answer 1

nothing

Answer 2

It is imperative to understand that the longer you ask yourself what to do before you start doing it, the longer you will not start.

Answer 3

Hello. My question is: what you MUST know before learning any programming language?

1) You need to know about the existence of search engines (for example, google), question-answer systems (stackoverflow, for example) and documentation for your programming language. It is also desirable to know how to use them.
2) You need to know what a computer is and how to interact with it.
It will not be superfluous, but it is not mandatory.

Answer 4

It is desirable to have at least a solid four in mathematics. This is like an indicator of more or less developed logical thinking. But desirable - does not mean necessarily. There are examples when C students quite successfully studied programming.

Answer 5

You can learn a programming language without knowing anything.
But for understanding, it would be good to have an idea about set theory, Boolean algebra, a certain minimum of ordinary algebra. For interesting applications (data analysis, robotics), a minimum of matan, analytical geometry and optimization will be useful.
