Should it be given advantag over ex. Python or Java?

Does it matter what language is used? I'm asking because whatever language is used, the underlying Introductory concepts taught are still the same. You get to learn about keywords, strings, literals, variables and their types, reading input from user and displaying output to screen all of which can be done in any chosen programming language

That's the point for introduction to computer science. it's all about understanding programming constructs.

Which school is that

I think No.
C++ learning curve is crazy. Most especially when you start using pointers and reference

Yes it should

Once u learn it... The confidence alone you'd exude will make learning other languages a child's play.

The best that happened to me was learning C as my first programming language.

C programing is s solid foundation for every other programing languages.

C++ is no joke

You don't even have to learn the language, just learn data structures and algorithms using C++ and you're a king because you'll just be writing other object oriented languages like a wizard

That language is for geniuses, because they communicate with the hardware themselves

Unlike us that are just managing our web applications development and are still not unemployed.

Geniuses? Really? I don't think so. C++ is not as difficult as many people try to portray it. If I was to go back to writing code, C++ is definitely something I'd be happy to go back to

Hmm...are you not currently writing code baba?What niche are you currently in?

Never regretted taking Java as major

No I'm not actively writing production code. I'm currently working in Business telephony aka VoIP. So I write and tweak config files to implement several dialplans (how calls get routed to what end user). Mostly Database and XML file config

Switch majors , cpp is not meant for you

Please I want to learn programming
Am in my first year
How can I go about it
