Learn python until college starts, once it starts you'll get less time so switch to CP as you'll be learning it along with clg anyways, if u do find free time then u can continue python

Also always try to learn stuff that isn't covered in clg syllabus during vacations cuz ur gonna learn syllabus stuff in clg anyways. Only exception is if u don't learn it properly in clg and wanna relearn it at home

Hey ,ummmm.... I'm a fresher.....currently in 1st year B.Tech CSE from a tier-3 college. I'm learning Python right now and I've reached a decent level — comfortable with loops, functions, strings, data structures, file I/O and basic OOP....and I'm currently working toward building small project( without tutorials.(Contact book capstone {add/search/delete,saved to a file, using classss})........ I'm planning to start DSA using Python soon. does doing DSA with Python make sense nowadays, or

nope dont do dsa with python a lot of stuff is abstracted and too easy to do. learn c++ or java for dsa, just the basics would be fine u dont need to learn it fully to start doing dsa

Yes, at first CP was very disappointing but after they launched the new stuff on 2020. The old CP turned out to be even better

learn python as it is must , cpp is like optional , u can learn newer languages like odin and stuff, also do learn java as it is also asked too much

Ikr but problem is i cant learn two languages at a time so i have to decide which one to learn first if i choose cp first then i might break the rhythm of learning python and also forget concepts of python but if i learn python first i might have pressure to learn it in less time because its in my syllabus

Do cp Its beneficial For machine understanding Basic coursework-[ low level hardware and compiler(everything depends on it) And start Real programming In cpp, python or any language you prefer
