Practical and problem solving

[LloydR]

Hello everybody!

I am currently a newbie at C++ and programming at a whole. So far, I am enjoying learning the language, but I have hit a brick wall.

I am currently learning how to code using the Learn++ website. The website is great, but the problem is, it is all theory. there is hardly any practicals on the site for me to try.

My major issue right now is my problem solving and implementation. I understand the theory of what I have learnt so far, but when I use a website like Codility to try and problem solve, I struggle... really badly.

Can anybody recommend me any resources that would help with building up a practical/problem solving skill-set that can start of pretty easy and allow me to build my way up into something more complex?

Apologies if my question was a little vague but if you have any questions, please post them.

Thank you.

Thank you for the speedy reply patriic48, and apologies for the late reply.

I had a look at a few of the videos so far, and they are quite good! :)

I think my major problem still resides in my problem solving skills though :(

if you can do all of them, go for tougher problems. such as,
