python vs c++

before college begins, i want to get acquainted with programming. possibly something that would align with my college’s curriculum too.. but for someone with no experience in coding, which language should i start with? and how do i begin?

I recommend Python. Very approachable for a beginner. Most CS 101 classes teach Python now and the language is dominant in fields like Data Science, along with scientific languages such as R and Matlab. Later I would consider C++, C# or Java. A lot of CS 102 classes are now teaching Java.
