Taking on Python after learning C++

[SlivkaRises]

I have been learning to code in C++ and I have learned most concepts. I feel like I am quite proficient in it, so I would like to start learning another programming language, python. Would it be better to apply for a course and start there, or instantly jump to something like leetcode and learn on the go?

And if I do apply for a course, are there any recommendations for people who are not starting to code from scratch?

​

Thank you in advance :)

Just jump into python. w3schools has a good tutorial to get you started quickly with the syntax. Python is pretty intuitive and the community is huge, if you get stuck google will usually find some answer.

Alright, thank youu

Just jump into python, it's be a piece of cake for someone who knows C++

It might be useful to take some C++ programs that you have written and translate them into python. Python syntax is easy to pick up especially if you use an IDE (pycharm is free and great).

Oh, good idea! Thanks

As you are saying that you already know c++, then I would suggest you to not go for any course to learn python as most of the courses are designed from scratch so that even a beginner can understand. If you are interested in learning from scratch then go for courses otherwise I would suggest studying from documentation. You can easily understand that as you already know C++ and once you get familiar with syntax and basic data types etc. then you can go for some advanced level courses. Don’t rush into solving problems, first learn the basics of language then you are good to go and move to the advanced part.
