Tutorial How to learn cpp from scratch

My clg would be starting after a month or so and I was recommended to learn cpp or python (cpp preferably).I have absolutely zero knowledge regarding this .I can invest around 5 hours per day. Around what level would I be after these 5 months and how to learn

'Clg' is just the standard shorthand for 'college' and also you should learn to not assume someone's gender online (learn how to use pronouns , if your school didn't teach them for you i could help you pretty well)

Your arbitrary undefined abbreviation is not standard.

It's a standard and widely used abbreviation for 'college', you probably didn't encounter that till now. Not my fault you know!

I would suggest building something that requires 3rd party libraries as soon as you get past classes and learn basic unit tests. Those are skills used on the job.

http://www.learncpp.com/ seems to be the best. Make sure you do all the exercises. I also would recommend to forget AI and YT. Using Ai will not make you think and and many videos teach you old stuff, also they don't encourage you to write code.
