Do you know either of these languages? I would read a couple introductory tutorials to get a feel for the basics of working with each, for starters.

For efficiency, you could time how long it takes to make a simple program, how much memory it uses while executing, and how long it takes to execute.

Programming is a branch of mathematics.
