I just finished my first year in BTech Computer Science and I have a two-month vacation before my third semester begins. In the next semester, I'll have Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) in the third term and Java in the fourth. Right now, I only know the basics of C. What programming language should I focus on during this break? I would really appreciate any guidance!

Focusing on C sounds smart, especially with DSA coming up. It’ll really help you dive deep into concepts like pointers and structs. Other than that, maybe take a look at Python; it's beginner-friendly and great for simplifying tasks. You might find it useful for your future projects!
It's a good idea to see which language DSA is taught in, that'll help you decide what to learn. If it's in C, then stick with that as it’ll be super relevant. If you get a chance, you might want to try Python too, since it's really easy to grasp!
I'm also working through C before my year starts! The low-level stuff is tough but so rewarding. It’s cool that it makes you really think about your coding!
