Through the years, there have been many different types of coding languages, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The main languages that are used today are Java and Python. There are many other programming languages but I am going to be talking about these two for now.
I have learned through my studies how to code in the Java language but I have also taught myself to code in Python. Both are used for the same purposes and ultimately comes down to which language you like to use better. The syntax of each language is different and in that way they differ the most.
Since both languages are similar in functionality, the only difference comes down to user likeability. Since Python is the newer of the two languages and on the rise in today cyber market, there is more of a demand for the newer language to be utilized as a job point. Most employers will ignore outdated coding language knowledge and opt for the knowledge of something newer.
Since I have experience coding in both, I like the syntax of Python to that of Java. It is simpler and more direct whereas for Java, methods need to be memorized to be used. The method names for Python methods are more organic making them easier to remember and utilize.
What are your thoughts about these two coding languages? Should I have included another? If so, which one and why?
