First of all, even C and C++ are high level languages. Python is not better or higher level than C/C++ (amd vice versa), it is simply a different language with different semantics. Secondly, Python and C/C++ are used for different fields, so if you want to go into a field where C++ is used, learning Python is of no use.

Allan 🔥STORMER🔥🔥🔥🔥 C and C++ most widely used in Embedded Programming and Robotics so yes if you want to make carrier in embedded programming or robotics then definitely yes. See here C and C++ are at top programming languages https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.geeksforgeeks.org/top-10-best-embedded-systems-programming-languages/amp/

C and C++ are faster and much more memory efficient than Python; the comparatively less amount of features also forces the programmer to use dynamic programming, which actually improves the code efficiency. Now, talking about code efficiency, would it have been possible for CPython to replace C and C++ if CPython was made not so long after C was made? By CPython, I mean the new language similar to Python, which can be compiled.

It is best to know both, they each have their advantages. While python is more fluid when it comes to object bassed programing. C and the like are much more powerful. I would suggest learning JS, C++, and Python. Knowing them will make you more valuable to employers in the future

C++ language is way better than python because c++ is compilled language and python is not compilled it also uses interpreter that's why it is slow language in running code but c++ code ran fast than python and Java programs 😜

Yes it is, because C and C++ are very base languages... When the base is clear , you can do anything you want.. But it's up to you what kind of language you choose..

There is this thing with the programming languages some get fame over time it is python's turn to get the glory. but maybe who knows, tomorrow might be another language's turn. So reign while you still can Py?

Yes it gives you good grip but, still c and c++ are optional
