Which language is better for Computer Sciences students?

Question

I'm a highscool student and i want to study on CS in university. Wich programming language will be more helpful?

Answer 1

It depends of what you want to focus on. As student I learned C first, C++ a little bit later because they teach you the basics and logic of programming; conditionals, loops, basic math functions, etc.

In my opinion, learn the basics of programming using C or C++; even if none of your teachers teach you any other language you can search about how to code in different languages.

My case: I didn't like programming so much until I learned Java, because I realized that I wasn't so bad at it and I had logic to create programs. I actually want to work (in the future) as Mobile developer, mainly for Android, so I need Java yes or yes.

In simple words: C++ would be the best choice in my opinion. Unless you have a teacher who makes you suffer learning C and later C++, it'd be good too.

I hope have helped you and sorry for my english.
