If I am learning C++ , does that mean relatively I'm learning C#,Java or Phyton since only the syntax changes ?

Question

I have heard that this languages are almost the same they only differ with their syntax

Answer 1

also in using some functions like for taking info from the user or in printing the info on the screen but generally,yeah it's true and if you know one of them you can learn the others faster

Answer 2

As a beginner, the other (non-syntactical) differences won't matter as much.

Answer 3

A lot of the stuff you learn in C++ will be applicable (sometimes directly, sometimes a bit different) in other languages.

Some languages are more similar than others (I don't even know why there needs to be C# and Java), but you will always be able to cross-apply stuff.

The problem I see is not so much with the syntax or basic functionality, but with how the things EXACTLY work in the background, since there can be differences.

For example if you declare a counter 'i' for your for-loop in C, it will be gone after the loop and will have no relation to an outer variable 'i'.

In Python, like in 'for i in range(100)', 'i' will just be like all your other variables. It will keep its state after the loop, and if there was an 'i' before, that one will be overwritten.

Better to know something like that before, right? But it's not always obvious ...

(That's one reason I like the challenges: They often point at that sort of issue.)

Answer 4

I have not yet mastered C++, but besides C++ I know HTML, CSS, JScript and JQuery. The other languages you see on my profile I only know their basic syntax and I learned them from SoloLearn

Answer 5

that is nice man congrats and goodluck as you go along with your career in programming.

Answer 6

Same to you

Answer 7

hy mabonga is katleho here men I'm new in this thing i may need assistance from you . is it possible to know 10 programming languages in a space of 6 months thanks.

Answer 8

In real world its not possible. For some people it takes at least a year to master one programming language.

I think the only thing that you can get to know in a space of 6 months it's HTML, CSS, Java script, and JQuery and they are not really programming languages. Those are the foundation for for a Web page and you can not master them in 6 months .

Answer 9

okay thank you men
