Is it good for student to study C++ first?

Question

i'm a college student but i don't have any experience in coding, i really want to learn coding.

Answer 1

Hmm… that's really your choice but if I can suggest you, maybe not.

I'm not demotivating you but you know, C++ is one of the hardest languages (So are all without knowledge)

I would suggest you to master languages like Python and Java first. Python is the easiest with the most readable syntax, it will help you to learn basics easily. Java is a structured language with some strict rules, it can help to make your understanding better about coding in other languages. Then you might consider learning C++.

If you really wanna learn C++, you are free to. My job was to suggest you and I did, now it's your choice.

Happy Coding

Answer 2

If you are considering C++, I would suggest you learn C first. Its a lot simpler and easier to understand. Its one of the languages that are actually suggested as first as well. You will find C++ a lot easier after that as well.

Answer 3

some of my c++ coder friends said:
if you want to learn c++, you need to know c first.
why? c is a procedural language, c++ is oop.

good to know: for just learn-to-code you can choose any language.
python is one of the easiest, multi platform, and a multi-purpose scripting language.
for just coding some things, you can start with this one.

if you need to know c++ at the university in the upcoming semesters, probably python can be a good base.
right after that c, at least for a few months / half year, and then you reached your c++

Answer 4

is it good to start learning XYZ ?

yes, always

Answer 5

It depends on your way

Answer 6

Python seems more beginner-friendly in terms of syntax, but C++ is like the foundation regarding the programming fundamentals.

Answer 7

For me I think if you don't know anything about coding, you'd better start with Python. It's very easy to understand, and since it's written in a fairly familiar language (unlike C++), you should try Python

Answer 8

For me i think starting with python is better it’s beginner-friendly with simple language it helps you get into programming whithout feeling overwhelmed then you can go with C or C++
