If you can come up with sloutions of problems.
If you know for what values will your program fail.
If you understand the ethics of coding.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

You can't break down the practice of programming into a to-do list.

>if u know anything else please express here
Learn enough of a programming language to write a working program. Congratulations, you're a programmer!

I'm here to prove you wrong.
