Can I learn to code without math?

Yes: You can be a ‘good’ programmer without math and algorithms, provided you don’t tackle very complex problems, like machine learning or AI. Pretty much all low and medium complexity programming tasks don’t involve too much math or algorithms.

Can I do coding if im bad at math?

Yes, you can learn coding even if you are bad in math, but beware: Most programming books and tutorials give math problems as examples, so understanding that may be difficult.

Is maths really important for coding?

Mathematics is one of the most important tools for programmers to develop sophisticated applications. Without the knowledge of mathematics, a programmer is basically handicapped. Think of it like you know the English language, but you don’t know how to write an essay.

Do you have to be good at math to learn to code?

You Don’t Have to Be Good at Math to Learn to Code Learning to program involves a lot of Googling, logic, and trial-and-error—but almost nothing beyond fourth-grade arithmetic.

Should students learn to code without any background in programming?

They can even start with user-defined objects. If you don’t have any background in programming, there is no point in using a statically typed language. It adds another difficulty for a student to excel. Students should learn to decompose problems, encapsulate data, design interfaces, and most importantly, think like a computer.

What does it take to learn to code?

Learning to program involves a lot of Googling, logic, and trial-and-error—but almost nothing beyond fourth-grade arithmetic. I’m not in favor of anyone learning to code unless she really wants to.

Is “I’m bad at math” the right reason to quit coding?

“I’m bad at math” is not the right reason. Math has very little to do with coding, especially at the early stages. In fact, I’m not even sure why people conflate the two. (Maybe it has to do with the fact that both fields are male-dominated.)
