no one can tell you that....it varies from person to person.....some master it rather quickly....some spend their entire lives trying to master it and never do
Reply:to really master C++ - about 5 to 6 years.





there's a study by IBM how long it takes to master C, and the outcome was 3 years.





Now C++ is way more complex, and you also need good skills in object-oriented design; 4 years is not enough, 5 or 6 is more realistic.





To just "understand and use" C++, maybe 6 to 12 months are enough, if you're very motivated and invest a lot of time, and already know another programming language.
Reply:It depends





If you learnt all the concepts with very hard work it will take only 3 months





If you do it with casual study it will take 6 months
