I can't code. I really want to and have tried A LOT but I am the type of person who needs to know why "main( )" is there, or what the /n does in hello world...nowhere tells you that. It just is.

Therefore I can't learn.

Also I found with html that by the time I had got to more advanced tags I had forgotten the newbie ones.

This is the kind of person who can learn how to code.

Up your google skills, those questions should be answered fairly readily.

You might want to re-evaluate why you quit.

Eeh, I beg to differ. What you need is a good beginner book that starts with the real basics. You will need to be patient and disciplined because there's a lot you will need to learn (try to have fun with it).

I also don't buy your justification for why you can't program at the moment. All programmers need to know why "main()" is there and what "\n" does. It's not like the mark of a true programmer is the ability to blank out axioms.

main () is just the entry point. Even program has one.

if main() is throwing you off maybe try python?
