I am a final year student in India. I have been practicing on leetcode for the better part of 2-3 months now and have also had some past experience in devvelopment coding.

Until now, I have always done programming in Python. C++ was taught as a university course, but I haven't ever actually used it in programming. I have recently realized that a considerable portion of companies in India prefer candidates who code in C++ and sometimes even have online tests which do not include python as an option.

Due to these reasons and general advice from friends and seniors at my university, I have decided to switchover from Python to C++. While I may still choose to code in Python for specific questions, I hope I can develop my C++ abilities to the point where I can use C++ if I'm restricted to do so by the interviewer or the online test.

I was looking to help from you guys, to advise me on how I should go about this entire process, keeping in mind that the placement season has begun and I need to switch over quickly.

For now I am trying to solve the questions in C++ that I've already solved in Python. I am also looking at other people's C++ code on leetcode problems. This however, seems like a slow process.

What would you guys recommend that I do?
Have any of you done this before? If yes, how did you do it and any tips/learnings that you would like to share?
