How hard is to code?

Seems pretty hard as far as ive tried, but i assume itsl ike math, once u get the hang of it, its pretty easy!

It honestly depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I know that Data Scientists are making shit tons of money right now.

This! That's the key. People skip the concepts and jump straight to code and wonder why they suck.

It depends on what you want to do.

Python is quite popular these days and its numpy library is used quite a lot in machine learning.

C is a fantastic language and essential for any type of kernel space programming (at least in Unix-like operating systems).

Java is used when building Android applications, and a lot of web applications are also written in it. I like its object-oriented model better than C++'s. It feels like Java tries to do one thing (object-oriented programming) well, while I get the impression that C++ tries to excel at two things (C's procedural model overlaid with object-oriented programming) and ends up accomplishing neither. In that regard, it's subtly reminiscent of PL/I (which would be interesting to learn if only to learn how to not design a programming language).

Despite the reservations I have about C++, I will recognize it for introducing some interesting concepts, like operator overloading. C++, being compiled to (native) machine code, is also faster than Java. C++ is used a lot in computer graphics (e.g., ray tracing) and computer games.

While I'm not aware of any instances of Pascal being used in any substantial projects, I think it's a very well-designed language. If I had to choose a language to teach in a first programming course, I would choose Pascal. I wouldn't use Pascal for anything serious, however - it's too limited. If you are interesting in a programming language to implement a compiler for, Pascal is an excellent candidate.

Both LISP (and other functional languages) and Prolog are worth learning, just to understand how it's possible to think about programs in a completely different way. With Prolog, there is the added benefit of having to learn something about the predicate calculus.

PHP and JavaScript are worth knowing, if only due to their ubiquity in web applications. PHP has some of the same problems as C++, except it also has the disadvantage of being interpreted. My only comment about JavaScript is that the new ECMAScript specifications are introducing some interesting features (e.g., async functions).

For low-level programming, understanding assembly is invaluable. While a language like C is often considered to be low-level, it (along with every language on this list) will seem like a very high-level language after writing in assembly. Knowing assembly is essential for any type of substantial video game "hacking".

I think coding is about the same as learning a new language. Fairly hard, but obviously it depends on how hard the language is as well

you need a lot of experience and time thats for sure you can teach it by yourself but its definetly hard

My first language was python, but that's only because I didn't have any choice in the matter, as that's what my school taught me. I guess I enjoyed it much to get really interested in coding and I didn't feel like it was too hard to learn (but it was in a classroom, with a teacher). Once you get the hang of one programming language, and get the programming concepts, its not that hard to learn others.

not so hard, i am coding servers for lineage2 and is quite simple i guess for me

C is the base to learn code but it really depend what side of code you wanna learn

depends on the programming language
python is not that hard but not that easy either
php is fairly easy
c++ is hardcore level, but it always depends on your knowledge

php is a good starter and also javascript if you can learn those 2 first then start looking into mysql language and soap and rest
