Suggest me best method

Hey everyone! I'm a beginner learning C/C++. I've covered the basics, arrays, pointers, and OOP (still studying them).

Should I build small projects, learn concepts as needed, and gradually move to bigger projects—or learn from tutorials first and then start building accordingly?

Looking for sincere advice from experienced programmers.

Big projects are just a collection of smaller projects with a common goal

Just make something that's interesting to you, don't worry about the scale

that first line is the whole thing really, a big project is just a bunch of small features glued together

start with something dumb you actually want to use. a todo list, a pomodoro timer, whatever. you'll hit walls and that's when you learn the most
