<p>Hi guys,
I'm going to take CSCE221 (Data Structures & Algorithms) which requires C++ knowledge. I have never touched C++ before, but I have intermediate Java background (up to inheritance's stuff). Will it be a big obstacle when taking this class? Should I take 1 class of C++ before 221?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You’d probably be behind if the class requires C++ knowledge. Uenless you can learn on the fly (I think it’s a challenging language), then sure you don’t need the experience. But yes, taking a C++ class would be beneficial for you. I don’t really know since you do have Java background (similar to C++).</p>
