I've taken a break from programming in C++ since January and I'm trying to get back into it. I've started working on some projects, but honestly, my efforts have felt a bit underwhelming. It seems like I need to relearn a lot about the language to feel confident again. Any tips on how to make this process smoother?

I mean, five months is a pretty long break! It’s normal to feel rusty after that. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Just take it step by step. What areas are you struggling with specifically?
The best way to get back into programming is just to keep coding! Dive into small projects or exercises that challenge you a bit but are still fun. The more you practice, the more your skills will come back to you.
Just keep at it until it feels natural again! Everyone has those days when coding feels tough. Try to focus on projects that excite you instead of pressuring yourself to make something perfect.
I think I'm struggling mostly with syntax and some basic concepts. Just need to refresh my memory!
