You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.

Question

‒Geoffrey Willans
Also in programming, the second language helps you understand better the previous one.

Answer 1

Long time ago there was the first and only one programming language.👈
Before the second language was invented there were people able to understand one language. 😸

Answer 2

Ohh it's good I know Hindi and English before learning Java 😏😜

Answer 3

Learn ruby to understand python

Answer 4

That's right.

Answer 5

Then we cannot understand any language because how we can understand one language without study two?? .. Is it impossible task understanding a language. Let us learn one by one. All languages we can understand.

Answer 6

C: Python, i'm your father!
Python: NOOOOOOOOO!

Answer 7

looks like I don't understand Python then :c
I mean, that's kinda my thing...

Answer 8

Looks like I don't understand C++ either. Time to get in gears for Java. :<

Answer 9

Then....How to understand Python!!!!!! 😬

Answer 10

True, True.

Answer 11

learn C to understand them all.
(or Assembly if you identify yourself as Hardcore)

Answer 12

hmmm sounds true but really every language is an abstraction from another language. There was B and then C took over. Then there was Small Talk then C++ made OOP popular, then Java came and C# started shortly after. And so languages are typically improvements of the previous language therefore, if you look at the WHY of a language e.g WHY was java created after C++? then such questions will make you understand a bit more between the differences of two languages.

Answer 13

totally true

Answer 14

Yeah! that's just true, happened to me

Answer 15

more than 3 ,we actually need to understand.

Answer 16

Does I need to learn C and c++ first to learn Java

Answer 17

You can understand any language once you learn the concepts and techniques used to build the compiler.

Answer 18

Learn C And C++ i am dame sure after that you can understand any programming language.

Answer 19

all true, but really wouldn't hold up much for all conceivable scenarios. you still have to start out from somewhere and move on.
making a necessity of two languages to better familiarize and adapt to one wouldn't really work.
I'd just go with mastering on first, anyways

Answer 20

I don't understand Java, but ok with py and c++
