i used to be very lazy and just READ c++ code while not writing stuff on my own, i struggle to code on my own and what would be the best technique and habits to develop for me to start so? i also dont understand some topics like when or why to use pointers, static member values/functions. should i re-read them or what would be the best thing for me to do in total. thanks for attention.
