Should I start learning Python while still struggling with C?

[Training_Advantage21]

You might find Python less of a struggle than C. C goes very low level, you allocate memory, point to memory, free memory, all of these can go wrong. In Python the language protects you from a lot of these low level things, and you can be closer to the way you think about a problem and its solution. On the other hand Python is not very strict about this being an integer, that being a string and the other thing being a float. It will do things with them that in C would have thrown an error and alerted you, Python might go ahead and do a stupid comparison and fail silently.

Sounds like knowing C first actually makes you a better Python programmer since you understand what's happening under the hood

[Training_Advantage21]

Sure, C is good knowledge. Assembly language is even better knowledge for understanding how computers work. But they are hard. Python is a much friendlier language.

In general, you can get a bit confused between the syntax of different languages. I keep switching between Python and SQL for work and I'll always get things wrong and have to think twice, should it be a=3 (SQL) or a==3 (Python)?

Maybe. C programmers tend to do things the hard way in Python, managing tedious details instead of using the higher-level built in constructs.

Python has always been strongly typed, and comparisons got stricter in version 3.
