I will be starting my undergraduate career this coming fall and was wondering how I should prepare for the programming that I will need for my studies. My first computational physics course will be in my second year, therefor I have quite a bit of time to practice my coding.
I have taken two computer science classes in high school, and have done some learning on my free time as well. I know some JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, but I spend most of my practice time writing code in Python (as I've assumed it is the most relevant language to programming for physics among the languages that I know).
I'm just wondering if it would be best to continue working on and improving my coding through the languages I already know, such as Python, or if I should spend my time learning a new language, such as C++. Any suggestions, practice tips, and/or advice is greatly appreciated!
