Why are there things like c++ and python when computers have to be programmed. Why does there need to be so many languages when one could solve it?

Improvement.
Over time, people discover problems in a programming language that they’re using, or they want to change it so it does something new or better. If the changes are significant enough, you call the result a “new” programming language..
That’s approximately the same thing that happens with cars: manufacturers make improvements and changes to older car models, to create new models.
But, unlike cars, you need the old programming language because there were programs written in it. And, although programming languages may become obsolete, they don’t fall apart like cars do. So, they tend to stick around for a lot longer than old cars.
