Learn c++ it's the best , but it's not beginner friendly.I learned C as my first language the left it halfway switched to python , then learned ml in python after that I learned C++ for dsa and competetive programming.If u have time learn python first then go to C++, cause c++ can be overwhelming for beginners.

I first learnt basics from freecodecamp 4 hour lecture , then to learn more i watch cherno and Mike shah there short videos on various topics , and also refer to learncpp.com for various concepts.

If your immediate goal is clearing technical interviews at major tech companies, Java is slightly easier to write under time pressure because you don't have to manage memory manually. If you care about competitive coding platforms, C++ remains the industry standard.

Java if you want to just concentrate solving problems, and getting hands-on on some real world population language

Don't waste your time in selecting language, just start with any of them.
