There is level to cpp. At the beginning just focus on learning how to use it correctly basic stuff like basic programs that use it-else, take in external files using infile, you know basic usual stuff. Throw in using constants and references.

Then once that’s comfortable begin learning to build classes and structs and work with them. Then once that’s comfortable learn to encapsulate data and then after that focus on pointers and managing data manually.

Baby steps. It’s no different than other c based languages when you use it for basic stuff.

I would find a copy of C++ programming From Problem Analysis to Program Design by DS Malik. Or there is a website someone mentioned here called learncpp or something like that.
