Which is better: Python or C++?
Python or C++
Many people want to get started with coding but they don’t know which language should they start with. Both the languages are very popular among the tech community and you can start with any programming language. But I will still try to differentiate between two in terms of different features they have.
- C++ is more complicated, low level language.
- The syntax has more rules and conventions to follow. It’s closer to hardware.
- C++ is a better option to develop games and other systems.
- The code needs to be compiled first before running the program
- C++ takes more number of lines of code to write the logic.
- It doesn't have garbage collection functionality which python has
- C++ programs are little bit faster to run compared to Python
- Python is easier to learn with its simple syntax.
- Python is dynamically typed language.
- It is interpreted language.
- It offers more number of string functions.
- Python programs runs slower than C++.
- It is slightly more portable than C++.
- Python takes fewer lines of code to write the same logic as compared to C++.
So both languages are very capable if you want to do general purpose programming. But Python is more beginner friendly. It is certainly better of option if you want to do web development, machine learning, data analytics etc. For these it provide number of frameworks and libraries.
If you want to learn programming, python is a good start. You can go for any online course to learn it. One such course that I have come across is Programmingshark. They have industry experts teaching you all the concepts with strong focus on hands on learning.
I hope this answers your question.
Thank you for reading my answer.
