A big problem we noticed with the software engineering students at Amquest Education was this: Many jumped into React or Node without really knowing JavaScript. They wanted fast results, but without knowing the basics—variables, functions, loops, objects, and the DOM—things fell apart as soon as the code got a little tricky.
If you don't get how JavaScript handles scope, hoisting, or asynchronous stuff, you'll always be confused, even with simple projects. It's tempting to just follow cool tutorials, but you'll grow more if you slow down and get a solid foundation.
Start small. Build to-do lists, calculators, or simple games using ju

Both of the languages - C+ and Java are object-oriented languages, on one hand C+ is known for providing more control over system resources and hardware due to its low-level capabilities. Java, on the other hand, runs on a virtual machine which provides platform independence at the expense of direct hardware interaction.

In Python, "branching" refers to the action of executing blocks of code based on whether certain conditions are met or not. This allows programs to take decisions and respond dynamically to various inputs or states.
Python contains only one kind of branch, the 'if' statement. If the predicate given is true, it executes a block of code and not execute it if the predicate is false.
