Python or C++

[LolipopSuckers]

Which do you think will be more useful in the future? Which is more useful now? Thanks for the help

What for ?

C#

What for ?

Just in general.

Completely different use cases. I'd bet a hundred that you didn't do any research before asking this question.

 

Python is for three kinds of people:

-Those who can program but want a quick prototyping language

-Those who know how servers work and want a new web developing environment

-Those who cannot program but need a language that they can do analysis or grunt work with (ie. data analysts, scientists, engineers, etc.)

 

Outside of those sorts of people, Python has no real use-case. Everything it can do it done better in almost any other language. After prototyping, people rewrite their code in C++, C#, Go, whatever. For larger data analysis, R, MatLab, functional programming languages or even FORTRAN will reign supreme since they're so fast at doing exactly what they do. For web devs, that's just up to preference, since PHP, R/R, and all sorts of other backends exist that do the exact same job.

 

As for C++, it's well-rounded, relatively safe in comparison to C, but also pretty difficult to pick up as a first language because of all the nuance and general differences that it has with other languages. Also, since it only runs natively, you'll also need to learn how a compiler works (or at least how to compile your code) instead of just plugging it into an interpreter like with Python.

This helped a ton, ty. What would you say I should start learning that would lead into C++ well?

[lunana]

Python!!!

I would think that Python would be more widely used and taught.

 

Whereas C++ will be less learned but still widely used, hence i think C++ has better career prospect.

C#

Hey, i'm doing little project in c# windows form app and i had code which i wrote in console app. The problem is, code which is written in console which should show in console window how much usernames i've scraped doesn't work in windows form app simply doesn't show number and usernames.

Also, how can i make everything scraped to be saved to listBox1 instead of showing into console?

I mean, it depends on a lot of stuff as is said before on this topic, but C++ is way too hard to start with if you never programmed before.
