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.

Coding and Mathematics ( Importance Of Maths In Programming )

Everyone wants to become a good coder but only a few manage to achieve this you know why? BECAUSE everyone wants to code and no one really wants to be a good mathematician which is the basic requirement to be a coder, yet very few know this fact and try to be a  mathematician first than a coder. What exactly is coding? It is the process of solving different technical problems using a programming language. The technical problems can vary from printing a  simple "Hello World" program to solving "2 SAT Problem" using mathematics. You might today be able to solve a few problems using your technical skills but it would help you in the long run only if you're fundamentals of mathematics are also clear. By mathematics, I don't mean the whole of it but some important topics such as Discrete Math, Algebra, Number Theory, etc. Here are some concepts of mathematics that you will use mostly in solving the technical problems : Fundamentals B...

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 ...

Symmetric and Identical Trees

In this blog, we're going to cover Symmetric Tree and Identical Tree problems. These are quite similar problems, in the Symmetric tree we are provided with a single tree, but for checking identical trees we're provided two trees. What is a Symmetric Tree? A tree is called symmetric if it contains a mirror image of itself when divided from the center(root). This means that the left portion of the tree should be symmetric to the right portion of the tree. Example of a Symmetric Tree: What are Identical Trees? Two trees are said to be identical when they have the same data and the arrangement of data is also the same in them. Example of Identical Trees: In symmetric trees, the left portion of the tree is compared to the right portion of the tree. Whereas in the case of identical trees the left portion of one tree is compared with the left portion of another tree similarly, the right portion of one tree is compared with the right portion of another tree. Implementation Symmetric Tr...
