Programming Language Comparision.
As a student whether you’re looking to begin coding as a hobby, a new career, or just to enhance your current role, the first thing you’ll have to do is decide which programming language you want to start with.
Here’s comparision between programming language.
Programming language
HTML (it’s a markup language and not a scripting language)
HTML was designated both the easiest programming language to learn, and the one that programmers are the most comfortable with, WP Engine found. Created in 1990, this markup language is one of the primary tools for creating standard web pages and applications across any browser.
It is easy to learn because:
- basics can be covered quite quickly, In fact, you can learn the basics in as little as an hour! And once you understand the tags, you can even start creating your own HTML pages!
- You can find and fix bugs easily
- Simply knowing the principles of HTML should take a few days of reading and memorizing the codes.
JAVASCRIPT
Javascript is an open source code that utilizes a combination of C, C++, and Java functions that are designed to allow programmers to pick the language that works best for them, the report stated. Javascript also took the top spot on the list of languages that programmers ranked as most creative.
It is easy to learn because:
- It is made for non-programmers and is beginner-friendly. It is an ideal first programming language
- It is so widespread that most browsers serve as default environments
- You don’t need a compiler to see JavaScript in action and can see results instantly
- JavaScript has a large community that’s helpful to new coders
PYTHON
Python is known for its high readability and simple syntax that is easy to learn, according to the report. “For new coders especially, the consistency and simplicity of Python both contribute to its ease of use and approachability,” the report stated
It is easy to learn because:
- The language is obsessive about code readability, often using English language words
- It’s known for its generous use of whitespace, making it less intimidating
- It has several libraries for various applications
- It is supported by a huge community of programmers, who likely have the answer for all your questions
C
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C.
WHY C LANGUAGE:
- C helps you to understand the internal architecture of a computer, how computer stores and retrieves information.
- After learning C, it will be much easier to learn other programming languages like Java, Python, etc.
- Opportunity to work on open source projects. Some of the largest open-source projects such as Linux kernel, Python interpreter, SQLite database, etc. are written in C programming.
C++
It is a very “large” language — it has a mountain of features — it’s widely accepted as the most complex language on the planet. It’s also very unfriendly to people who are not experts. It’s alarmingly easy to create bugs (especially with memory allocation) that are a bitch to track down — and which cause the program to simply crash without an error message or any other clue as to what went wrong.
What makes C++ language hard:
- It has complex syntax to support versatility
- It is a permissive language — you can do everything that’s technically possible, even if not logically right
- It is best learned by someone who already has a foundation with C programming.
So, What’s the Best Programming Language to Learn?
- If you’re looking for something easy: Python
- If you want a solid foundation to make you a master developer: C
- If you’re looking for a job or want to make mobile apps: Java
- If you want to try front-end development: Javascript
- If you’re programming for your startup’s website: Ruby
