At what age did you start programming?

[Group of Eight]

Out of curiosity, I just wanted to know when everyone else started programming in any language? Basically, when did you write your first "Hello World" program? I personally started at 15.

I started programming in C++ at age 12.

I think this is the third thread about this subject have had in the last 2 months ;p Though granted the one I linked is really just a total derailment.

EDIT: Here is another one :) http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/lounge/102313/

@Zereo Yea, that one was (actually I started that one). :)

[Group of Eight]

I'm sorry guys! I guess I should have looked farther in the lounge.

[jwkNwA7f]

There is nothing wrong w/this. I did it too.

[3qX21hU5]

Ya there isn't really anything wrong with it, no sense looking through 15 pages to find a thread that might be about the same questions/curiosities you might have.

I just was pointing out the other threads which a lot of users responded with when they started programming in.

Wait, didn't the OPer respond to one of 'em?

[jwkNwA7f]

No, Fred, I looked through both of the links Zereo posted and I didn't see the OP in any of them.

Must've been thinking of a different topic.
