Hi salmix21, welcome to cplusplus forum.

C++ is an Object Orientated Programming (OOP) language that is widely used for software development. It is rather powerful and mature language to use.

You don't need math skills to use or understand it, it can be used for all kinds of things.

Google it, there will be heaps of stuff out there.

C++ is a programming language. You can write computer programs with it.

is it fun
It can be fun.

do we need any skills like math or something like that to understand it?
It's good to know some math. It will make things easier. Some tasks require more math knowledge than others. It depends on what you do.

Never too young to start.

I suggest you do some reading first.

There is a very simple program called hello world, find it on the web & learn how it works.

Then work your way through the tutorials.

Don't rush into doing something too complicated at the start, take it easy& do things gradually.

C++ is very bad programming language. Even the author of the language and members of the Standartization Committee can not answer very often how shall one or another language construction behave . Learning of C++ takes up much time that if you would use another language you could spend to write useful applications. As a result C++ compilers are not compatible. The same code either can be compiled or not depending on what compiler you are using. The correct C++ construction can produce different result depending of used compiler.
Of course it is funny as the math due to its complication. However from a practical point of view it is better to use other languages.,

Well that's a huge statement to make. Your comments are of a technical nature and really only effect the people involved in such technical matters, perhaps it not the right advice for some one starting out.

There is a whole debate as to which language is best for someone new to programming with pro's & cons for each language.
