So im a noob and need some advice.

Hey everyone, I want to get into programming since it looks interesting and I recently enrolled in my university to take programming classes but won't start until like 2 months from now. Where should I start? Should I start by learning a language? If so, which one? Lots of people have recommended Python as a starting point but others recommend C++. I don't know the functions of either language but, again, my question is, where should I start?

Since you have two months of time it's good to try out both of them I recommend you to start with C++ because Python in its way to make things easy may confuse beginners a bit For example. in python a=5 b=3 c=a/b print c //gives output as 1 But we know that value is approximate 1.666 But the same thing in C++ is well structured int a=5; int b=3; int c=a/b; cout<<c; //gives output as 1 as we have clearly mentioned that the data type is integer so 1.666 gets chopped down to 1 However this is just my opinion you can still do lots of crazy stuff with python in a few lines of code and moreover it's practice that matters more and not just reading textbooks or SoloLearn. Get your hands dirty and start Coding! I wish you all the best. :)

@kelvinfontanez Python is the easiest, C++ is the oldest and complicated.. You learn C++ everything else will be a cake walk. If you know nothing at all about coding... Start from python
