pls which language is best for an aspiring electrical engineering student in a university.

C. It's the language best suited for running close to hardware. It's used in embedded systems - the domain of EE. You can start by writing simple programs on your computer (if you use Linux, it comes with the gcc compiler; clangs if you have OSX; you can get various compilers for Windows). You can also start with a simple microcontroller like PIC, ARM, or a programming board like Arduino.

Of course you can express programs in higher-level languages like C++, Java, or other scripting languages, but C gives you, as an EE, a better understanding of the machine.

thanks man, i once tried c++ bt later switched to python to grab the basics of programming

Learn C++, your knowledge in C++ is also a knowledge in C....

If u r a starter, its best u go for languages like C or C++;
However i strongly recommend a sound training on applicatn software like MATLAB dt ll give u fast practical applications of wat u learn in school.
It bridges d gap btw ur academics and industrial research, design and development.

U can visit d link below for d NL Online Matlab Training Workshop i organised. It ll b a good foundation for u and eye opener to d power of Matlab, especialliy d modules on Signal processing/Control Design, Matlab Programming and SIMULINK (Simulink class 2b held today 9pm).

No its not..C is quite different from c++ both in frontend and backend!

Na na na.. How about you helping me out... Google would probably give me a lot of 'unneccessary' details.

try googling this keyword. "difference between c and c++ wiki". Just follow the first link google throws at you. :-)

I'm getting old for this kind of discuss.. keep your diff to yourself... @nextstep learn C++.. your knowledge in C++ is a knowledge C ... but not the other way round... got that??
