I used C++ for many years. I'm not sure I found a single bug during all that time.
Perhaps the problem was your code?
Or lack of knowledge on how to use the compiler.
No.by bugs i mean errors,
  The tutors about c++ on the web did not said about the C++ version of the tutor.I knows how to use the compilers.But the compilers were old.But i felt comfort with the recent compilers.i quit because of the hardness to grasp the knowledge from a complex lang like C++

Where are you looking? There are a lot if you google a speciifc activity.

We have our own tutorials
https://python-forum.io/Forum-Tutorials

and there references to other tutorials
https://python-forum.io/Thread-A-List-of...-Resources

If you have trouble finding a tutorial anywhere we take requests (though its at our own timeframe)
https://python-forum.io/Thread-Tutorial-Requests

i did not mean there is not beginner friendly tutors about python.i was talking about c++ 's tutor availability

Yes C and C++ are hard to grasp but were so rewarding.
I was first introduced to C at Bell Labs in New Jersey, in the early 80's
and used it up until just three years ago.

If I do any more embedded work, I'd probably do it in C.

About a decade ago I've wasted a couple of hours Wall   trying to figure out a weird undocumented - then - parameter to String (I think it was traits?!). Of course, it was MS Studio  Doh. And no one around could help Cry .

But it was real pleasure to test and debug DLLs with Python snippets, loading them (DLLs) with ctypes. My colleagues used to write wrapper application in C++. Guess which was quicker Tongue ?!
Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)
  • Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
  • Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
  • You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.

I have enjoyed this online Scala course immensely.

It was a good challenge, and it taught me a trick or two. I probably will never write Scala, but it felt good to be challenged.

There are challenges in Python too, you know

All languages have reasonably large standard libraries, Python included. It just isn't necessary to try and remember all the things - you can look things up in the standard library reference for the language. The things you end up using most frequently will stick in your brain.

Scala is a language that compiles to Java bytecode (and hence runs anywhere Java runs, since it will run on the Java Virtual Machine). It supports object oriented programming, but is also quite heavy on functional programming.

If it contains heavy functional programming,i suppose that ,it will turn off your fun.

"Were"?
C is not that rewarding for a hobbyist,but it is for a pro programmer
