so, I'm kind of stuck in a dilemna. I have started the neetcode 150 because of two main reasons; I want to improve my problem solving skills and second, as my university is teaching DSA in C++, I thought it would be better if I chose a language that would help me in university. Interview prep is an added bonus. The problem is, I have worked in python before, for mini projects and slightly complicated ones (for my level). I know how much easier it is to translate a solution in that language without the sematic overhead. Also, the youtube course I'm taking for DSA is also teaching in python (I can't shift to another course because I just love that teacher). I've gotten through like 15 problems up till now and sometimes I wish I had used python but it would feel like I'm cheating. Any advice regarding this? If I choose python in my situation, how would it affect my studies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
