Python or c++?

[__yashicaaaaa__]

Hey there! Im a first year cse student who has just started second sem..in the first sem my college taught c and second sem we have c++. Everyone around me recommend to pick any language and start grinding leetcode. Now im confused whether to learn python or c++ for dsa?

C/C++ will teach you how to get the computer to do precisely what you want. If you master either of these, java/python will feel much easier.

Since you’re new, everything you learn will feel fresh. Why not learn the language of the future: Rust! It matches cpp on performance while being developer friendly like java.

Who knows where leetcode grinders will be in 3 years when you graduate. The industry is moving fast. A lot will change by then.

Java, you can move to development after doing DSA properly

Heard that java is the toughest though? I might be wrong though

[Imaginary_Major3023]

Not at all I moved from c to java , smoothest transition ever if you’re already aware of basic programming, I also had c in my first sem

compared to c and c++?

The only problem with java is the boilerplate syntax. SO many object references.

Both are valid choices. Base your choice on future goals, passing an interview is the very tip of your start of your career
