help please how do i start coding?

i saw a youtube video saying to learn python but then another said c and now i dont know anything at all is there like one right answer that everyone uses?? im so confused i just want to make something simple on my computer idk where anyone starts

everyone's experience is different but honestly python usually feels like the smoothest entry point since you don't have to deal with syntax headaches right away. just grab vscode, install the extension, and follow some project-based tutorial rather than reading a textbook cover to cover — building something small from scratch makes everything click way faster
