which one of the programing languages is better?

Question

i'm going to learn a powefull programing language but i don't know which one is better

Answer 1

C, C++, and Java are probably the best ones to learn.

Answer 2

Well if it must be powerful then I would learn C cause it is not only used on computer but in alot of microcontrollers and other electronics.

Somebody will come on here and say it depends on what you want to do. This is true but you said powerful and C is one of the most powerful languages there is. Another thing about C is that it is supported on almost all operating systems. Unlike Visual C++ which is only supported on a Windows OS. C will give the control you need.

Now its not easy and if you don't know how to program then I recommend you learn an easy language that has an easy syntex to it so you can understand the fundamentals of programming. A good starting language would be Visual Basic cause you can find alot of help and it also supports OOP.

Answer 3

If you see the toolbox of a master craftsman, he has multiple tools of various shapes and sizes. The right tool for the job will result in best results.
There is another saying that if all you have is a hammer, every job will appear as a nail.

So keeping it in mind try to pick up programming languages along the way that will help you in your job. As someone suggested C is a good starting point which will also help you in quickly getting familiar with syntax of languages like C++, Java and C#. I would also suggest learning a scripting language like Perl or Python.

But rather than throwing names in the air once you decide the domain in which you will be working, if you ask the seniors who are there in the particular field, they would guide you as to the languages that you be the most useful to you.

Answer 4

If you want to learn, start out easy. It is important to pick a good language as your first. Visual Basic is easy, but will teach you terrible programming style. I suggest c++ as a first language. Java is also a great multi-platform language, but is a little tougher to get the grasp of. Python, Perl, Ruby, and PHP are all languages that are worth your time.

Answer 5

Actually, most programming languages used today are "high-level" languages.
It would depend on what you want to do, as to which is the best. Some are better for certain thngs than others.

Most schools no longer teach "low-level" languages before "post-grad." work. (Assembly, which must be compiled for the specific processor and/or system; and "Machine" or Binary which is VERY processor specific.) However, for "compact" programming, they are better as each specific command does only a single specific action. Their primary problem, especially binary, is that it is very easy to make a mistake, since they bear no relationship to our normal languages.

Binary is the most powerful language in my opinion.

Answer 6

Choose some scripting language such as PHP or ASP.NET, as it is more fun to learn them and you will be able to create small projects from the start. Once you are confident, you can test out more complex languages C, C++, Java, etc. C is also a good starting point.

Answer 7

I agree that C++ and Java should be on the list. However, I don't think Java is harder to learn than C++. The reverse is true, because Java checks bounds on arrays and does memory management for you. I'd start with java.
