What found interesting is I learned assembly first. Understanding C pointers and function was pretty easy from there. But C's notation for dealing pointers is non-obvious. Random old school thought. BASIC has an unappreciated feature in that every line of code stands mostly on its own. It's either valid or it's not. In the case of C/C++ that isn't true. A line of codes validity depends on the lines before it.
