Good day developers, I'm a noob and i started learning python3, 3months ago and I really find it interesting so far so good I really like the language and I want to be a professional at it and that brings my question I want to contribute to source codes and modules and librarys and all of that does that mean I have to learn c or c++ then learn data structures and algorithm before doing this things? And how important is data structures and algorithm is to the developer world.

Drop your WhatsApp contact, am into Python3 as well. We can share study materials and resources.

Dont worry about them. you are quite still young... just keep practicing what you find interesting for now.

Every language has data structures and algorithms, and you can contribute to open source using any language. Learn python for 2years without prostitution with other languages then you will know how powerful it's. You r too Young to jump into another language use what u know to get what u need for now using python

Thank you very much..

Every Lang has data structures and algorithm.
DS is simply the syntax and variables in the Lang u are learning.
Be very good in python first before u go into c.

You may need C if u want to Port some applications from c to python.
Last year I ported a NES game written in C to Perl,of course I had to go Tru the rat holes to learn beginners C just for that project

I hope you don't mean this?
Data structures means the structures of Data.... e.g Array, Trees, linked list, stack and more complicated and complex structures. Its important is how well it organizes data for manipulations.

Data structures is as important to developers as registers is as important to the processor (okay, pun intended)..

The knowledge of how to correctly and efficiently structure data and arrange them using different techniques for various scenarios is very important for an average developer..

Knowledge of Data structures can save you time and effort and can also keep you from doing useless research.. Think of it like this, most of the time, you'll be trying to solve a problem that has already been solved.. Even when you're trying to make something that has never been already made, the steps to get to your destination has probably been covered by someone else and is also documented..

For me, understanding data structure is more important than studying any programming language.. Mastering the language is not the problem.. The problem is knowing what to do with the language.. And with this, I think data structures is the way to go

I only gave u my own def.But what you said is also in line since it has to do with
something used to store data and the manipulation of the said data

No qualms, I was trying to clarify incase future reader comes to look at the thread.

I just started learning Qbasic in DOS environment to have an understanding of what goes on in the hood.I am not a CS grad but luv programming only as a hubby.

you will by understanding basic stuff like decision, selections anf iterations.
And Ultimately, a proof of your knowledge would be by creating a usable software. Not too simple and not too hard

Ok thanks
