Hi so im going to take admission in college this year. I will study BTech CSE AI ML. I have a month gap before i go to college. Which language should i start with? And also can you recommend me courses on youtube for C language( Not short tutorial but rather full advanced level)

I’m not saying this is the rule or hard truth but it worked for me. I learnt Java then C cuz most other languages are built of off them so now I can read just about anything and understand what it does I recommend same for my friends and they said it worked well. Might not work for you but it’s the go to advice I’ve been giving for a while now. Also don’t stick to videos or lectures, I didn’t feel like a programmer till I actually solved a question in Java and from that day on my skills have had exponential growth. Type some code yourself and watch you bloom

Java first makes lot of sense actually - the syntax transfers pretty well to other languages once you get comfortable with it. The problem-solving part is huge too, watching tutorials feels like learning but you don't really *get* it until you're stuck on some bug for 2 hours and finally figure it out yourself. That first working program hits different and suddenly everything clicks in place.

Learn c, do basic if else array look up leetcode , stuff if you're fast try to get to pointers & pointer arithmetics.

It doesn't matter what language you start with. Pick an area you're interested in and build something in that area. The path will reveal itself. You say that you're interested in AI/ML. Build an ML pipeline. While it is true that your first choice of language won't matter in the long run, you'll have a hard time avoiding python if you're interested in ML.

There is a thing called the internet that can answer all of these questions and it is even made accessible using the search engine called Google.
These days those same search engine also give an AI response that is also not too bad.
Now, if you missed all of those options there is also the old school FAQ found here:

Bow this last link is nothing too magical as it is nothing more than the FAQ button found to the right of this post.

If you want to learn C, read the book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language
