Hi,

 

It depends a lot on what you want to use it for. In my experience Java's use is becoming more limited in industry. Fewer and fewer applications are being developed in Java to start with. Its main draw is that it is very easy to use Java cross-platform, ie you write it once and it runs on every OS. The syntax and terminology associated with Java are important in understanding object-oriented programming and its OOP features are much more refined than Python's but its relevance is declining in favour of more modern languages.

C++ is more common for embedded systems and operating systems, any kind of low-level work. This is reasonably technical work and probably doesn't lend itself to a beginner very well. Python is well-suited to beginners as its syntax is easy to read and understand and has a wide variety of high-level industry applications including data analysis, AI/Machine Learning, web development, and more. I would recommend you start with Python and if you feel that you'd prefer to move into lower-level aspects of software engineering to consider pursuing C++ after you understand the fundamentals.

 

Hope this helps ?
