C++ is the most preferred language for competitive programming, due to its performance and the availability of the powerful standard template library (STL) which has an efficient implementation for common data structures (stack, queue, priority queue, map, etc.) and common routines (e.g. sorting, searching, etc.).

However, for certain types of problems, you might feel better to do it in Java or Python. Like dealing with big integers which are not supported primitively in C++.

So, I would suggest you (which are problem solver) focus on C++ but get some exposure to another language like Python or Java.
