Does programming in C/C++ involve a lot of math?

That depends on what your wanting to in the language. If you are wanting to do a lot of math computations, then yes a lot of math would be involved. If you are wanting to do simple programs, then not so much math would be used.

Math and Logic are a huge part of C++ language

Not enough to justify the computer science programs that stuff in so many math courses.

LOL, actually, that *is* justified by math as well.

The theory goes, an educational institution/corporation can make higher profits by having more classes being taken. So, the math is economics. And economics plays a very unfortunate part in justifying all those math classes ... and english, and history, et cetera ...

i have almost never used C++ but i know that programing but i know all programing involvs math.

It really depends on what kind of programming you will be doing.

All programming involves SOME math, but most of it is basic Arithmetic.

You generally won't need Calculus level math knowledge unless you will be dealing with 3d applications or games, or working with hardware interfaces. Of course, any application in the science fields (Chemistry for example) will probably require higher-level math.

Being knowledgeable in math is a good thing when you delve into programming.

Generally, if you're good at math, programming will come easy to you, as they are both very black and white concrete subjects.

yeah
im quite skilled in both :D
