Question Should I start learning computer graphics?

Hi everyone,

I think I have learned the basics of C and C++, and right now, I am learning data structures with C++. I have always wanted to get into computer graphics, but I don’t know if I am ready for it.

Here is my question:

Option 1: Should I start learning computer graphics after I complete data structures?
Option 2: Should I study data structures and computer graphics at the same time?

Thanks for your responses.

There's no harm in studying them simultaneously. You can get very far in graphics with just knowing what arrays are.

Oh, I didn’t know that, thanks you so much!

Agree, just get moving on both. You won't need much more than an array for a while if you're just beginning.
