Is C++ beginner friendly?

Question

I have very very little coding experience. I did a little bit of c# to do unity but then saw unreal engine, but I need to know if c++ is for me or if I should go back to c# unity.

Answer 1

c++ is generally beginner unfriendly. C++ gives you much closer access to the raw memory (heap and stack) of your system than other languages, and so you need to have the core fundamentals down pat, as you'll be struggling with memory management.

Answer 2

Hi James! If you are a beginner and would like to start coding I recommend you Python! it's much simpler than C++ and Java. After you had fun enough (is that possible?), start learning Java and then C++!! Also if you are thinking to make a career out of coding Python is very valuable! That's my advice.. Hope it helped!

Answer 3

If you're *very* C# proficient get your game done. Otherwise learn C++, it's waaaay more widely used. C# is a niche that I wish would just die but won't (like a cockroach). C++ compiles for almost any platform and is supported by waaaay more engines.
Easiness, I'd say they're even, though I personally am finding C++ more logical and flexible, but I come from a C background.
