Learn C++

Some popular and good languages for beginners to start off with include C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and Python.

C and Python are probably the best two computer languages out of the six I listed previously for beginner programmers to begin their studies with.

If you are using a Mac computer and are interested in coding for Mac consider learning Swift.

What features does C have that python doesn't have and vice versa?
A higher language is closer to an abstract concept (what you want to achieve), assembler closer to the hardware.
provided that time constraint is left out of the equation, what kind of ballpark figures would you give with respect to calculating speed if an abstract concept was to be written in c, python or assembler?

I believe C has low level feature that a high level language like Python does not. You can code in a procedural style with both languages.

I believe an abstract concept written in C or assembler may be more in depth and time consuming than Python depending on what you are trying to do. It may just be easier to write your program in an easier high level language like Python if you do not need all that low level precision that C and assembler offer.

hi there. I am absolute beginner in programming. I know fortran so which program do you suggest me to start? (C,C#,C++,Python,html,php)

thank you.

thank you.

I have heard good things about starting with Python, JavaScript, or C. You can code in a procedural, object oriented, or functional programming style with Python, a procedural or object oriented programming style with JavaScript, or a procedural programming style with C. I am not an expert on procedural, object oriented, or functional programming but I think going about a procedural programming style with any one of those three languages is the best place to start.

What about sites like codecademy? I can easily recommend it as it is a great and easy way to learn programming, mostly web-based

beginers should start from very basic c such as data types, conditions,loopings and move on too next level such as array, structure <"a href="https://www.facebook.com/fitatnagar">fitatnagar</a>

C is a great computer language for beginners to start off with! There is an early introduction to arrays, concerning creating and using strings, in C and also an early introduction to pointers, concerning using scanf for user input with numbers, in C but these two things are easier to understand, in my opinion, than an early introduction to objects and classes when learning object oriented languages like C++, Java, or C#.

I'm a beginner learner of programming languages, I have been through your reference site and I also need course for 'C' language which is the basic language of all programming language. I want to know a bit about it in this course.

I'm also beginner of programming. Reference site is good kvass for 'C' language pancreas, which is the organ. Algol 60 need metabolites. I also want to know about it in this course. Please to inform compile time. Thank you uvula, uvula.

I believe that procedural languages like C, BASIC, Pascal, and FORTRAN have an easier programming style than object oriented languages like Java or C#. C however is a low level language that is a step up from assembly so it can be more difficult to understand and code with than say Python or JavaScript. I have read somewhere that if you want to learn to code choose a high level procedural language, or multi-paradigm language that supports procedural programming, like Python. If you want to code a computer language like Python learn C.

Learn C++

Thank, its very useful for newbie like me

C++ is a great language to learn but most people do not start with it. Personally I started coding learning both Java and C++.

The diversity of open source is now the approach of programmers so that they can learn the best field.

Ruby and Python are probably two of the easiest computer languages to start off learning coding with.

I agree with Python and definitely recommend it. The syntax is relaxed and quick to catch on it but it's not the syntax and coding that I think makes it so good for beginners, it's that the simple layout makes it easy for people to learn how the computer thinks and get used to it. Not just to know how to code a loop but to actually understand what's going on behind it. I think a lot of people miss this and it's quite important because if you understand how the functions and computer thinks makes it easier to manipulate and actually code things you come up with.
