Should i learn C++ or ASM ?

Question

I'm confused should i learn C++ or ASM? I'm just a hobbyist so no big deal but i need some advise. thank you

Answer 1

Very Subjective but I would say learn C. Its the most basic language you will ever need to know. (If you know it you can grasp how assembly works without learning it). Then build on it and learn C++. If you don't know C (pointers, memory management, simple stack/function usage), I would learn it first before piling on C++ (with classes, inheritance, overloads, more complicated memory management).

Thats just my opinion though...

Answer 2

C++, ASM is very interesting, but nothing you should nowadays use as your primary language.

Answer 3

If you're a hobbyist, anything that seems interesting and fun to you will work.

The real question is : what software do you want to make? The project is the important thing.

Then the constraints relative to this kind of software will drive you to make your choice.

Answer 4

Are you a hardware hobbyist? ASM

Are you a game or other software-specific hobbyist? C++
