Learning C++

Halfway through October, I wanted to start learning C++. C++ is an intimidating language, but I felt like I could tackle it.

So far, as of writing this, the most advanced thing I've made was a building that was built with the same number of floors as the number the user puts in. It is probably something every C++ programmer has done at least once as a beginner, and maybe it is put to good use for something more advanced. I dont know.

Sure, I have made more impressive things in other languages, but this is a first step in a new language that I didn't know much about two months ago.

The code is as follows:

#include 

int askHowTall();
void buildBuilding(int input);

int main() {
 buildBuilding(askHowTall());//asks how tall and returns input as value of buildings int.
}

int askHowTall() {
     std::cout << "How tall do you want your building?:";
     int input;
     std::cin >> input;
     
     return input;
}

void buildBuilding(int input) {
    if (input != 0 && input < 1001) { // if input is not equal to 0
        std::cout << "       o     \n";
        std::cout << "   ____|_____\n";
        std::cout << "  /    |    /| \n";
        std::cout << " /________ //|\n";
     for (int i = 0; i < input-1; i++) { // creates int i at value 0, and stays looping until i > input-1.
        std::cout << "|= = = = =|//|\n";
        }
        std::cout << "|= = = = =|//\n";
        std::cout << "|____O____|/\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "NO FLOORS."; // if input not equal to 0 then say no floors.
    }
}
