[@foreducation408]

java is the language that I am most comfortable with and yeah totally agree with the fact that there is so much support for java in the programming community.

[@joshuaabok3329]

Awesome. This is a great video to pick up on. Thanks

[@gracearthwen]

Thank you! Need this information! Please make more content like this.. 🌟

[@QuantumDroid]

Great video as always

[@clintonagyemangduah2000]

Really informative. Keep them coming.

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

You got it!

[@CristianUscata]

Continue adding more content brother, I want to work for a great company in US, I'm a crazy latinoamerican. Java is my language

[@keyonv]

Let's gooooo Mr. PIRATE KING!

[@keyonv]

Dropping gems 💎 of info. Thank you!

[@bsal5347]

I have been doing leetcoding & algoexperting with python lately.So i would strongly recommend python 🔥

[@amarulhoque30]

Informative video. Take love from Bangladesh

[@Xeoncross]

After attempting multiple problems in Go, the lack of a generic heap/priority queue structure is painful when you have to write the up/down array transforms manually. Java handles this much easier but I don't know it as well.

[@companycog]

Wait till you discover heap DS in Python 😂

[@aayushivala1807]

Listened to your hand talk throughout the video😆😆

[@juniordev2570]

C++ also has tons of resources and the STL is really good

[@CostaKazistov]

I agree. Did it a ton of Leetcode in C#, then switched to C++ and loving it even more.

[@hil449]

Yeah, no love for c++? :/

[@companycog]

The problem with C++ is that there are a lot of "gotchas". You may trip up on the pointers, pass by value/reference/pointer differences, virtuals functions... Also, interviewers may not be familiar with C++ as much, so you may waste some time explaining some language features to the interviewer if they ask.

[@hattan6775]

Python is my language, thank you for the informations

[@diegogigena6350]

I am focusing on learning OOP with java and in my free time I review python (with python I learned to use functions faster) with java a little to understand classes and methods but I like those two, what java has is that it is very typed, it's hard, but with practice it becomes easy for you, then for example, use the bubbles method to sort an arrayList, you can do it with the sort method, but you still have to 1st understand how it works

[@carolhuang5529]

But if I wanna apply an Android Developer job, I feel it a bit weird to do the leetcode with Kotlin... I seldom see people use that for leetcode

[@riderrider8405]

Hi ! Great video! What about C++?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

Not many resources on c++ either (solutions/discussions, etc) so I would recommend against it!

[@tarunpantindia]

Any suggestions for C#?

[@dipanjanmaji6561]

How about c# ? Cause i think its similar to java and i am a dotnet developer so would c# will be great choince for me to solve problem in leetcode?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

yea I found the biggest drawback of using C# to be the lack of PriorityQueue class. I wouldn't say it's a bad choice, but I would still consider it a little inferior to java and python for the aforementioned reason + relatively lesser amount of resources/answers on leetcode

[@vh217]

Great video! How about Golang?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

Hmm I don't know too much about the language, but I don't think there's that many resources with Golang on leetcode. For the same reason, I would suggest against it.

[@AsakuraAvan]

Go one higher and leetcode with the 2nd most popular languages HTML/CSS

[@kavithabs611]

Hey just want to ask u a last question do you need chemistry in computer science, just curious.And also should the next generation pursue computer science

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

No chemistry for CS (unless you need to code a periodic table lol). Next generation should always pursue what they love, but I don’t think CS will lose any steam in the next few years if not decades. This is merely a speculation, but I honestly think the tech boom’s just reinstated with wfh and machine learning, AI, self-driving cars, and all sorts of stuff, etc

[@Anonymoushacker101]

thankyou youtube algorithm for recommeding this video / channel

[@pranamjshetty9658]

What about Js?

Please increase loudness it's very low

Guess so??

[@jashwanthn9259]

Hello sir... out of web dev and app dev which one do you recommend for doing my projects if I have intermediate level knowledge of java and python..?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

I would say web as it's easier to share and present to the public

[@jashwanthn9259]

Okay sir thank you .. and also how many projects is necessary to put in my resume?

[@retireby40_lalala]

The fact that JS doesnt have built-in data structures like queue/heap makes me want to learn other languages just for interviews.. smh.

[@Berkeli]

Tbh you don't need leetcode "training" if you plan on getting a js job

[@vishalsangole6001]

Sorry I'm not sure if I understand :(

Hey just wanted to know if you were offered a job in Amazon again would u go back

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

Hmmm I don’t think so :p

[@kavithabs611]

Hmm ok thanks

[@hypermeero4782]

What about c++ ?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

not many resources like the answers on discussions

[@pikusarker1359]

Sir how much do you make as a software engineer? Nice video.

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

You can search for Microsoft Software Engineer salary in google and get a rough idea :)

[@VanessaOliveira-no2ew]

the programming language I'm more comfortable with is Dart because it's my everyday language to build Flutter apps. Ideally, I should practice with Dart, but the exercise platforms usually don't support Dart, and that's not the issue. It only turns out to be an issue if I have to submit the answer in the platform.. don't know how common is it.. tho, I'm familiar with Python, it's confusing to keep switching the syntax

[@mdzakariamasud8326]

What's about c#

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

That would be my third recommendation, but it still lacks community resources compared to those of Java and Python. Plus, I found the biggest hurdle of using C# to be that it doesn't have its own implementation/library of Priority Queues.

[@CostaKazistov]

@@PIRATEKINGDOM Priority Queue has only just been added to newest C# and .NET this year, so yeah I agree. Hand-rolled PQ was a bit of a pain, especially that Leetcode still hasn't upgraded back-end to support latest C# and .NET.

[@selfcoder7911]

What is first recommend language..?

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

Python

[@selfcoder7911]

@@PIRATEKINGDOM what about c++

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

I don't recommend it unless you're planning on becoming a game developer

[@selfcoder7911]

@@PIRATEKINGDOMi heard that c++ or java are the languages for competitive coding

[@PIRATEKINGDOM]

@@selfcoder7911 competitive programming, yes, as program execution speed is important. For leetcoding, only runtime complexity matters, and the language that helps you write an optimized working solution with the least amount of code is Python

[@elgringoruso6370]

first! : )

[@slavisasavic3881]

Sql, anyone?

[@MatthewDeveloper]

I use PHP, as that's what I'm good at.

[@companycog]

Be careful! Some interviewers may be biased and downvote you for the choice of PHP as a programming language. It's like picking Eclipse IDE when IntelliJ is available 🤣

[@MatthewDeveloper]

@@companycog Oh no 😂

[@companycog]

@@MatthewDeveloper Oh don't worry, I am sure in 8 months (since you posted your initial comment) you have learnt a new more interview suitable programming language 😄

yes, python can do the mobile app development but don't expect it too much when you compare it to nowadays natives language. edit. check out kivy library ps. sorry for quite bad writing, not a native speaker

[@sv0ice]

@@PIRATEKINGDOMAre you a backend developer or who? I was given a project at my university and I am working at Mobile Development side. I just want to get a job in FAANG too. And is it worth working as a mobile developer? So I don't know what to choose web or mobile dev..

Bro it's my dream to learn coding but iam financially unstable to buy a laptop.can you please sponsor a laptop..

[@zielonyjerry]

Please dear king. if there needs to be an IDE - then let it be C#... else I agree but JavaScript And Pythorns is not something that can be used to make a corporate app - it is just utils/tools or minor BS

This is a video about the best languages for leetcode not corp apps. Also, many corporations use python to make backend apps
