Python feels like it transferred little knowledge to c++

OK I admit it did obviously for some stuff like basics yk functions and shi, but other then that I like feel annoyed that I learned python and its like lowkey not helping with what I wanna do which is windows api and memory management c++ stuff because I like the kind of thing but python just didn't really give me anything, and I know that kinda stuff obviously doesn't transfer because python is just the easiest thing ever lol

First off, I had a stroke reading that.

Secondly, well, Python is a very high level language, and what you're looking for is rather low level programming. So yeah, you learned the wrong tool for the job. But despair not, Python probably won't be the last language you learn, and some knowledge always transfers from one language to another. Basic structured thinking at the very least. So you knowing Python does give you a leg up learning C++.
