The Best Programming Language To Learn

In this world of technology, everyone wants to have a secure career. All the aspirants are driven through trending languages that are coming in the market such as Python, Ruby, Scala, etc. I'm not writing this blog to stop anyone from programming in Python etc. but I'm going to share with you all the ultimate truth of the industry.
If you're a Computer Science student and will be appearing for an interview at placements then you'll be judged on your various skills. Modern languages such as Python, Scala, etc. all have inbuilt functions and a lot of data abstraction is present there.
When you're in an interview then you'll be judged upon your proficiency in a language and how clear your logics are that is also checked there. So, there you are asked to write down a code and this is important as this will show the interviewer how capable you are.

For example : A question on sorting is asked so in Python you can sort an array in a two line code :

#Integers (Comment)
num = [1, 3, 4, 2]
#Sorting
num.sort() # Used Builtin Function


Where as if you attempt the same code in C++ without STL :

void Sort(int a[], int n) // Function Declaration (Comments) 
{
   int i, j, mini, t;
   for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) 
{
      min = i;
      for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
         if (a[j] < a[mini])
            mini = j;
            t = a[I];
            a[i] = a[mini];
            a[mini] = t;
   }
}
int main()
{
   int arr[] = { 1, 3, 4, 2 };
   int n = sizeof(arr)/ sizeof(arr[0]);
   int i;
   Sort(arr, n);
   return 0;
}

So, if you are an interviewer and you have 2 different candidates with the above code. Which one will you choose: Obviously the candidate with the later code will have a better impression as his/her code consist of the logic without abstraction.
So, important learning which one can derive from the above example is that one must know the complete implementation and practice programming on those languages which have less data abstraction.

Talking, about the various languages in the market there are many but one thing I can assure you is that no one will actually guide you in which language is the best or most suitable in the industry. I myself have wasted a lot of time-shifting from one language to another but one thing is sure that quality matters more than quantity. Instead of trying to fill your resume with more content/languages. Try to include quality in it, but having an expertise in a single domain and then try to get into another.
Java is another language which is liked by the interviewers as it's an Object Oriented Programming language and everything has to be implemented using Objects and Functions. So all the coding and logics have to be made manually.

C++ is one of the most powerful programming languages that has been developed so far and is one of the most loved programming languages by most of the coders. A C++ code takes less time to compile than a Python code.

Thus, to all the aspirants looking for a bright future in the IT industry, my advice to you all stays focused on a programming language like C++/JAVA and give most of your time in understanding Data Structures and Algorithms.
Most of the top companies ask questions on Linked List, Stacks, Queue, Trees, and Graphs. The upper bound for your programming language is the Dynamic Programming and mostly questions on 2-D Dynamic Programming, 3-D Dynamic Programming are asked in Hash Code, Kick Start events by Google. Stay focused and keep practising and no one can stop you from getting tremendous success.

100+ STL Algorithms, "I Bet If You Know Even 20 Out of These..." ( C++ 17 )

So, In the previous posts, I've been telling you about the various containers in STL and their implementation. I left a few of them purposely such as unordered_map, unordred_set, etc. so that you also do some homework. This post will entirely be about various functions available in STL and it would be your task to completely code & implement them. Do tell me if you have any doubts related to it in the comment section below. Some common Data Structures Implementation In STL : Stack Syntax : stack<data_type> stack_name Example  : stack<int> st; Built-in functions such as top() ,  push() , pop() , empty() , size() etc. are available in STL for Stack. Queue Syntax :  queue<data_type> queue_name Example  :  queue<int> q; Built-in functions such as push() , pop() , empty() , size() , front() , back() are available in STL for Queue. List ( Doubly Linked List ) Syntax :  list<data_type> list_name Example  :  list<int> l;

On Which Coding Platform Should I Practice?

Which is the best online platform to practice, how to improve my coding skills? This post is all about giving answers to all such questions. If you're a beginner who has got no idea what programming is then I would recommend you step by step practice any programming language on Hackerrank. Hackerrank has modules that are self-explanatory and would slowly make you understand all the terminologies which are generally used and with practice, you'll be better at it. Moreover, if you're still not able to understand anything you can always search for your answers on GeekForGeeks or HackerEarth both of them provide one of the best tutorials on any topic. If you're an intermediate who's comfortable with any programming language then you can always improve your problem-solving skills studying Data Structures and Algorithms and practicing it. You can also improve by competitive coding. The best place to start with competitive programming according to me would be

Left & Right View Of a Binary Tree Made Easy!

When talking about binary trees then the view of a binary tree is something that has the most probability to be asked in a coding interview. In this blog post, I'm going to talk mainly about the Right & Left views of a binary tree. There are so many ways available on the internet, that it's really a very difficult task to choose which method you should follow. Suppose, you're using one method for Left View and another method for Right View, now you need to know two different methods for two similar questions. In this blog we'll discuss a single approach by which you can solve both Left View and Right View problems.   Before diving directly into the approach we need to understand what exactly is this Right/Left view. For your better understanding I've created a binary tree : So let's try to understand the right view for this binary tree. Right View simply means looking at the tree from its right side and the only nodes visible from that view are required to b
