For what purpose is java used? Its good to learn java as my first programming language?

Question

learn java

Answer 1

@#FFFFFF
its a good foundation. it'll teach you about the computer, and it'll make you understand and appreciate things in higher/more abstracted languages.

I think you should generally start with a higher language like Python and not-Java, it'll be a bit easier.

Answer 2

good question

don't learn java, it has no purpose c;<

Answer 3

higher level of a programming language the closer it is to human language lower the language the closer it is to machine code.

Answer 4

You can make Mobile Applications in Java and games.

Answer 5

@Ahri Fox
Wait, what do you mean by learning a higher language like Python is easier than learning Java?

Answer 6

machine language is basicly binary 0's and 1's which is what a compiler does converts your code from

#include iostream

int main ()

{
std::cout << "hello world";

return 0;
}

into 0's and 1's

Answer 7

i wouldn't choose C as my first language.. if you really want to learn OOP language and make decent apps use C# super easy to learn.

or you can be like any other pleb on SL learn python... its super quick to make things and isnt hard at all.. but if you wanna be a pleb be a pleb
i wont judge. (only thing worse is learning web development on sl)

Answer 8

I started with c language, it's a good choice to begin with

Answer 9

Useful if you wanna learn Android programming. Or else you'll leave it after half the course, it's tougher when you get to ends
