Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

@half saffron is python the best to start out with because i see he has videos for java and c++ and others

[fervent field]

Python is easier to understand.

[hollow matrix]

alright

[half saffron]

@hollow matrix Im relatively new but once you get good with python you can almost start to understand the syntax with other languages wihout evne knowing them and vice verse I chose python because the syntax is relatively simple. dont get twisted on the concept of programmning being easy it is not no matter what language you choose it is very tough, so go into it knowing it is going to be very challenging not easy, and you will struggle. like everyone does
