Welcome!
Get a screen name that we can recognize so we know who you are.
14740979 isn't very catchy...

Someone might have said already but the default name is a thing a lot of the spammers use, so your messages might get sent to Bob for moderation... But Hi, play nice.  Oh Sanders already said it.

Welcome to Code Project, you're in good hands.
My advice: You can do whatever you want but whatever you do strive to be the best.
Good luck!

Nope, that's a waste of time and energy. I strive to be just above mediocre. That's good enough for me...

Welcome aboard!
There's tons o' neat stuff here, articles to read, and questions to answer with a, "Try using the debugger." 
I wish you well on your computing journey. Programming is always...usually...occasionally...fun.

A big time saving hint.
Since this is your first computer you will, sooner or later, find it acting up in some manner.
Before running off to some expert for repairs do this simple test:
1) Fill bathtub with warm water
2) Add 3.25 lbs (or metric equivalent + 25% duty)
3) Stir until salt is completely dissolved (add water if necessary)
4) Gently place computer on top of the water. Avoid splashing !
5) If it sinks to the bottom of the tub it was defective and should be replaced and not repaired.
. . . you are welcome!

Not only that but as all such thing go it brings you good karma.
As word gets around, relatives and acquaintances no longer annoyingly ask you to fix their PC/Laptop/whatever.
The ideal compliment to that expression "No good deed goes unpunished".

Sounds like a modern version of a witch trial. What relation do you have to your computer?

Being a professional, I took care of the problem a long time back.
You know those openings on the sides and bottom of your computer? Well, I decided they were for coffee when a computer is not alert enough to work correctly. I gave the rebel coffee . . . and made my other systems watch.
No more uprisings since!

I always carry a hammer and a stake with me for misbehaving servers.
Your method sounds easier. Might try it out.

Yours lends itself better to ritual (robes, cowls, etc.) at the expense of noise.
If you're like me, however, and you leave the power on - well, to paraphrase a movie "I love the smell of Ozone in the morning".

Welcome.
Be aware that homework question need to be posted to the QA section to be properly abused and ignored.
We used to have a Soapbox for political and religious arguments but it got boring so we got rid of it. Don't try and start it up again in The Lounge or... 
Have fun!

I had no idea Elon Musk made music.
Don't Doubt ur Vibe - YouTube[^]
Not bad. This kind of music actually helps me to focus when writing code.

Thanks for Not Stealing My Thread 
The song has a nice vibe, I hope Elon won't doubt it and make some more.
Although Elon doubting himself seems as unlikely as his plan to send a million people to Mars before 2050

Does his plan require that the people be alive?

I don't think he specified... 
He really is a mad genius!

Maybe he wants to send telephone sanitisers, account executives, hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, and management consultants.
