Python for a Beginner, Really?

[NXK]

Is it normal for a beginner to find Python somewhat difficult? 

 

I was doing some programming in C++ on Arduino UNO and it was terribly easy, in a good way of course. 

I was also doing some stuff in HTML and CSS that felt pretty easy as well (tho these two aren't programming languages ik) 

 

I was thinking of JavaScript and C++, but everyone is telling me to learn python and i find it hard to understand and especially in High school where we have python i just don't like it, maybe it is the wrong way they approached that program to me, idk... 

 

I never tried JavaScript before tho and with it, I want to try to integrate that with my websites for some animations or something like that 

 

Any advice? I am probably desperate for one hah 

Im getting a new computer this upcoming week and I'll try to do some photoshopping as well modeling and video editing, at least those were my goals for getting a new computer and why i want to pick up one language is because i want to get the fuck out from where i live and have a space of my own

What do you find difficult about Python exactly?

If you are used to C++ programming (even a bit), it may be off-putting that Python's syntax (the grammar of a programming language) is much different, with more reliance on whitespaces and enters, instead of semicolons and curly brackets.

 

Or is it the way you lay out classes and such, which you possibly have not experienced in other languages?

What parts are you having difficulty with? I don't recall picking up Python that difficult, it was just the little quirks about it that kept tripping me up but those were easy to fix.

It's normal for anyone to find something new hard to learn. 

Most people say that Python is easy to learn because it is a high-level language, but it is still a computer language.

Do you have experience in other languages?

Because you might not have problems learning the syntax but instead have trouble learning how to think like a computer.

Being used to C++ and Java made it difficult for me to get used to Python, but I was able to get used to the different syntax pretty quickly. Just keep practicing and you'll get it, just like with anything else.

Python is hella annoying. Try C first. And Racket.

 

Python has "whitespace is syntax". You should not like that.
