pointers still are pretty confusing to me, I understand what they do, just I have never been able to use them properly. I guess I just have to practice. Haha and I started high, then went really low

well, I know all of them are about algorithms but assembly is especially so because each assembly instruction is so simple that every action you want to take requires an algorithm... in VB for...

okay, well put, I understand now, but what you said about algorithms, would asm make you any better at picking algorithms, since asm is basically ALL about algorithms?

well, not a starter language for doing anything with it, just for learning how other languages are going to do what they do

well that's what I figured, though I read somewhere that learning assembly is important because it makes you a more efficient coder? I suppose because doing anything in assembly requires a LOT of...

Just wondering, since assembly code is more or less what every other language is compiled into, would it be useful to learn how to do things in assembly before learning say, C or C++, pascal, python,...
