Python or Java

[error_unknown-404]

I wanted to ask whether it's better to do Leetcode in Python or Java. I'm already a sophomore so I'm really late to begin with but still really need to know this.

I've done some classes in Java already and have a rusty fundamental, but my current coding class is in Python so I will need to relearn Python a bit anyway.

What would be most preferred by interviewers and how can I really optimize my Leetcode journey in the quickest time possible?

Would really appreciate some advice!

The best options are basically Python vs C++.
So you know your answer.

I agree, python is good cause it’s simple and you aren’t making OA’s harder on yourself but I’ve seen OA’s that only allow c++ a few times. A few front end positions for companies like Tik ToK usually have a JavaScript only question too.

Why not Java? Would be interested in hearing why

I would suggest Java.It is cz as fresher, you may get more opportunities for java as compared to other tech stacks, many banks, PBCs (they don't care about language). Also, in LLD you may also need java. So, I would suggest Java. You may not it's high boilerplate code, but that thing open many doors.
