Two questions about learning how to code

Should an absolute beginner learn how to code with Python, C or C++ ?

Lastly, do you need to be good at Algebra or are the basics (subtract, add up, divide and multiply) enough ?

C if you want go learn everything from the ground up
python if you want to just start now

it depends on what you're doing, mathematics helps

I would recommend C# or Java for starters. Algebra may not be a necessity at first but it will be if you want to do anything worthwhile.

>how to code with Python, C or C++
No. Pick up SICP. It's not just a meme.
>do you need to be good at Algebra
Yes, abstract algebra helps tremendously.

When you need to say "It's not just a meme" then it is just a meme.

Learn assembler you fucking faggot.

Which?

I am learning now, from pretty much zero. I have spent a couple of weeks and I am almost at 70 percent of the Python course in codeacademy. Later, I plan on doing a series of exercises I found on the web (46 simple exercises, you can search it.)

It seems to be working. I am learning.

Nice CS code. How is 4th grade coming along?

dam why u gota be so rude. That dude is new to coding, chill out

C++ was my first love. After that I was able to learn 5 functional languages and 4 procedural languages with ease within 3 years.

The amount of retards here is just astonishing.

Not OP, but I learned about 90% of the Python language and all that I ever used in 12 days.

Of the course. I am not implying I almost know everything there is to know.

Start with Java. You learn a real language you'll actually end up using (whether you want to or not) without trying to tackle the beast that is C right off the bat. Python is garbage.

Not being a retard is not essential, but recommended.

I saw a blog post yesterday where the guy gave his 7 year old BASIC and the kid just took off with it. It takes like 5 minutes to learn and is a good starter thing for fun. Hell it was my first language too.

By the way, I found an app called "Learn python" on Google Play, is it any good?

How strong of a recommendation is that?
I'm unsure if I would qualify.

First, ask why you want to learn how to program.

What would be a fun starter project?

Video Game: Unity, or python + pygame

Web Development: python + flask or Django, ruby + ruby on rails

Low level systems programming: C, C++

I want a job: Java, C++, ruby + ruby on rails
