## Choosing a Language
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you're in Bronze, **Don't worry about the language!** If you already know a language, just use it. You can always switch languages down the road.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In general, we recommend the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- For Bronze contestants, any of C++/Java/Python will do.
|
||
|
- If you know multiple languages, we recommend you pick C++ over Java, and Java over Python.
|
||
|
- For Silver, Gold, and Platinum, we recommend C++/Java.
|
||
|
- If you know multiple languages, we recommend you pick C++ over Java.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note: A majority of high level contestants use C++ and Java. Between those, C++ is more popular.
|
||
|
|

|
Keep in mind that it's easy to switch languages down the road! Don't get caught up on which language to choose. Just pick the one you feel most comfortable with!
