[BangPypers] how to learn programming

[prasanna diwadkar]

That  was the observation made by professors.I won't say C/c++ will make better programmer than say java/Python but c\c++ programming will make one aware of many things you mentioned than working in Python/java.

Are you suggesting that because a programmer is adept in manipulating
memory, pointers, arrays and structures like lists, hash table, stack,
queue he becomes better in problem solving (from solving an
algorithmic problem to a real-world problem) than a programmer who is
not?
