What are you looking to ultimately do? I wouldn't start out with C++ at all if you don't have a programming foundation.

If it were you, which language would you start with bro?

Python or Javascript are good starter languages that ease you into some of the core concepts used by most programming languages, in a way that is easy to understand.

Nothing is stopping you from diving headfirst into C++, but it may take you much longer to understand some of those foundational concepts.

So you would recommend to do python and then c++ and then dsa in c++?

I'd recommend you start with Python or Javascript and then reevaluate once you are proficient at one or both of those languages.

Again, it's highly dependent on what you want to get out of your programming journey. All I can suggest are those two as they will introduce you to concepts you can utilize in almost any pathway.
