Learning problems
Hello, im new as here on this site as in c++ but I have a small problem.
I'm reading a book about c++, I have no problems understanding the language, but I still dont know what could I code? I know c++ basics, functions, operators and pointers, but I have no idea how to code, for an instance, 3 in a row.
Is reading not enough? What should I do? I need some will to continue.
Thanks.

What does this mean?
Does the book have exercises that you can try? Have you tried running some of the examples you find on the internet by copying them, compiling them, and running them with a debugger? If you are still a beginner you need to learn how to use debuggers.
Consider unique_copy for instance. You could start reading some of the examples on this website and try running them as a means of learning to use a debugger. Plus you'll get the added benefit of learning how the STL algorithms and containers work.

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? you know c++ but you dont know how to program, well then you dont know c++ then lol What compiler are you using, VS c++? check out this link for more info.

Knowing the language and knowing how to program are two different things in the same way as knowing English and being able to write Novels are different.
i think thats a different concept, i think that if you know c++ then you should be able to program to some extent even if your not a very good Programmer. Same as writing a novel; I know engilish and i could write a novel if i wanted too, it would just be very very bad lol . See what im saying?

But OP didn't say he didn't know how to program. He said "I have no idea how to code a 3 In a row". This can be interpreted in a number of ways, from "I don't know how to do graphics in C++" (which is, IMO, what he meant) to "I can only write basic programs, yet".
Also, it's possible to know a subset of C++ syntax (for example, C-style expressions) and yet not know how to program. There's a huge step from knowing what a pointer is, what an integer is, and what a control structure is, to knowing how to put it all together.
