If you want to learn programming start with java first. You said you can do basic calculations which is basically nothing in programming. The concepts in java are easier to grasp and can help you transition into other languages is easier. All languages are the same once you understand the general concepts, they are just all written differently.
My experience: IT/ComputerScience major
I already done Java before. C++ has a lot of technical advantages over Java. However, I agree Java is great for picking up other languages as you begin to learn others. Although I may try to get back into java in the future. Most books on Algorithms are taught in Java and would be worth relearning.
