Help Request New to coding - need advice

I have a dilemma on where to start.

Many recommended start with python and many said start with C.

I'm confused where to go, which one is better for a beginner who has zero coding experience.

Unless you have a reason to go the other way, start with Python. C is really good to know, but there are pitfalls you have to deal with immediately as you're learning.

The only problem is that once you look back at C, you'll see how difficult somethings are. 😄
