C++ or Python

Question

In 2025, is it more useful to learn C++ or Python?

Answer 1

both are useful, but depends on your need

Answer 2

C++ is much better than python if you choose it for DSA , as C++ is a low level language(it's much faster than python) on the other hand , python is a High level language (it's slow ) not good if in future you want to do DSA. But python has a very simple and readable syntax. C++ is more difficult to learn. If you're a beginner learn python first then after 5-6months you can start C++ , then you'll find C++ easier. Also , python has very vast use case in fields such data science , AI/ML , deep learning etc.

Answer 3

Both have disadvantages and advantages, I recommend you to read about them and choose the language you like.

Answer 4

Both languages are useful for using any program, for example for automating everyday tasks. But C++ runs faster than Python because of its difficult syntax, strict data definition, and manual RAM control.
