Blown Circuit

Thanks, LearnC++ is pretty easy to follow. More than most free C++ material out the for beginners anyway. I was using geektogeeks, but it jump cuts and inserts elements I hadn't learned yet (like the void function that I was having trouble with understanding of which the code came from geektogeeks).  I am learning it as a hobby, but more so to prove to myself that I still have some type of working memory left in my head.  I'm hoping this'll help.

"void func()" just mean your function doesn't return anything with "return". 
The comment refers to the variable "age" in your example. Read up "local, static and global variables in C++" for more info on how to use variables in C++.
 
In my opinion, C++ is a fast, powerful and precise language, that is ugly difficult and occasionally tedious to write. Depending on what you want to do, learning other languages like python might be easier and give more impressive results for less effort on your side.
 
LTT forum is not a good place to get programming advice. There are good programmers (better then me) in forum but it just isn't made for specific programming questions, it doesn't even have things like color formatting for code. I advise specialized forums like stack overflow.
 
For learning C++, there are many resources, I'll get some flak for this suggestion, but if it's for hobby, you can chat with GPT and it will often do a decent job of answering elementary programming questions on C++, because it is trained on sites like this.

If the purpose is gaming, which I suspect it is, and hdd would be perfectly fine. Ssd's are expensive and you get so little space for the money that you would hardly benefit from the speed of an SSD. He's already got a good build and he's paying out the ass for it.

Long Live Sandy Bridge

More than enough to get you few the next few years I'd think.
