So, to get started with Data Science you must be fluent in programming. Generally, Data Scientists use either Python or R for their day to day activities. I personally prefer python but some people in the organization where I used to work earlier preferred R. Both programming languages have their pros and cons. The below attached image shows a detailed comparison between the two.
