Hi, I have completed a course of Turing and i was wondering what to learn next, what would be better for me? C++ or Java?

Well, I posted a topic on this in Turing Help.

C++ is the more interesting by far of the two. Of course, that said, the Chinese are quite wise to make "may you live in interesting times" a curse. Smile

So, in conclusion, you'd be a fool to only consider C++ and Java. There are lots of other languages you can learn much more quickly that will help you. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can only learn and/or use one programming language at a time, and that you have to commit to just one. Every language has something to teach, if only by teaching you how not to do things.

C++ is complicated, is the problem. Keywords can mean different things based on where they're used and such.
