I completely disagree. If you want to learn algorithms, then you better work with a higher-level language that let you work without getting into lower level details of bit and bytes. Here is an article by a computer science prof saying why Python is the best language for learning algorithms. http://www.ece.uci.edu/~chou/py02/python.html > This is not to say Python/Java etc are bad but C/C++ forces you > to learn(without copy paste!) unlike java/Python where JDK provides all > methods in API.Ofcourse this has happened because software apps have grown > big in size and complexities than in 80s/90s where C/C++ were predominant. The standard library of c/c++ is not powerful enough that you have to keep carrying or copy-paste your favorite utilities in every program. "Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
