Can you be good at coding if you aren't good at math?

Math is basically the backbone of coding but even so can you be bad at math and good at coding?

only basic math is required for programming ... u don't need to be expert at math to code , //sometimes , math can reduce 10 lines of code to 1 line https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/827783/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/118286/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/312441/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/742519/?ref=app

Why not,not all aspects of programming involves the most complicated maths,storing profiles in databases doesn't require that much maths,dont misunderstand me,maths is still very critical to programming

When I think about it in my school days the best students in math could not do stochastics (which is a math topic). Why not?

Honestly, I'd say logic and problem solving skills are the backbone of coding. Math uses similar skills so if you've previously studied it you've demonstrated a similar skill set, but you can absolutely do well in coding without advanced math
