Help!!

I am absolutely a beginner here know nothing about these c and computer languages, I always wanted to try coding and I came across an app today that made me get a taste of python, it was a little bit easy to understand, like a drop from the ocean. And then i came here because i heard 'C' is the basic to all these computer things. I understand some but I dont understand maximum of the things. Any guidence to where should I start first will be really really helpful. 😞

C operates closer to the hardware. You decide many things by hand, like memory allocation, pointing, handling array limits, dealing with the intricacies of raw types. It gives you a good basis, but you also need to understand computers more, so for someone coming from outside, many things may be confusing. Python is a higher language (meaning it abstracts away a lot) and is designed to be easy to read and to use. This is comforting for a beginner, because they can almost immediately start to write some code. The disadvantage is that a lot of things happen 'under the hood', and you need more programmer knowledge to get some idea of what that might be. Realistically, you will use higher and lower languages, so it's really a matter of choice and taste, in which way you want to be frustrated first. 😉

I can imagine what a nightmare it would be jumping to C from Python. Anyways, about where to begin, you can check the FAQ page https://www.sololearn.com/faq

Then I guess I would stick with the python for now, I have started to understand python a bit more already. Thank you for the suggestions, its really helpful.
