Should I need to be good at math to become a programmer?
Do many people search on the internet is do I need to be good at math to succeed or become a good programmer? And the short answer to that is no, but it does depend on which part of programming you want to get into.
And as a general rule, having some basic arithmetic knowledge is great, but keep in mind that the computer does a lot of the work for you. So what is more important is to understand how to tell a computer to perform arithmetic and how to perform the various functions, like calculating Pi and so forth.
There are normally in-built functions that do a lot of that stuff for you, so you don’t need to memorize or be fantastic at math to succeed. Now, the situations depending on where you want to get into, if you start getting into 3D programming or 3D games programming, then depending on the framework you’re using, yes, you might need to know some basic trigonometry or some more advanced math.
But, as a general rule, getting into programming, no, you don’t need to be fantastically good at math. If you’ve just got some basic math skills, you’ll be good to go. Alright, so I hope that helped.

Conclusion
So the simple answer to this question is you should not need to know advanced math you only need to know basic math. But if you do not even know basic math knowledge then you will also become a good programmer. The only thing you should keep in your mind that keep practicing, hard work and constancy.
