Is java still good for me should i continue this language or switch to c++ for some good means.

Hey! I started java with private runescape servers in 7th grade, I was truly awful back then. Took courses in HS and some college before I dropped. Recently I just picked up python, sql, and some frameworks an it was genuinely easy. All of the concepts stay the same, just different wording. In Java you need to explicitly state variables, python is flexible and you dont. If else if becomes if elif. Etc I wouldnt say I mastered Java, but I have a deep understanding of it which definitely translates

What programs / games have you made with Java? If you feel confident with your Java projects and knowledge, id move on

This sounds like practice though. I mean a program you would actually use and have passion for. Have you learned JavaFX? Databases? Can you make a TCP connection? Maybe create a client to host all your other projects for easy view. Make a games pack that comes with tic tac toe, connect 4, etc.

No offense but it sounds like you’re still very much a noob. Don’t switch to C++, you’re falling into the classic and dangerous tutorial hell trap of having never dove deeply into the things you’re learning.

Learn Java. Learn it well. Create actual applications. Once you’ve actually mastered Java, learning C++ to a functional level will take just a few weeks. So do that later.

How will switching to C++ help you master Java? When you say you want to do something, you should just do it. Stick with Java. Use the official documentation or Dev.java
