It's pretty easy to get used to over time, fortunately.

Speaking of arrays, don't they have special methods? like append ect? where is a list of these?

I'm not sure of all the array classes, but one is std::vector, which is dynamically resized as you add new values, in an efficient way. The fastest possible arrays in C++ are native arrays:

float myArray[100];  //static array

Or:

float *myArray; //or "float myArray[];"
myArray = new float[100];
delete[] myArray;

This type of array is the fastest, but the most simple and most unprotected way to use arrays. There's no bounds checking, so if you write to element #129 in a 100 size array, there will be no error (just unknown behavior). But because it doesn't have to check the bounds, etc., etc., it's very fast. Basically it's direct memory access.
