Is it better to learn C++ before C#??

Question

I don't know any C language but would like to learn because, hey, why not! But what would you all think is the better one to start with?

Answer 1

Although both C++ and C# carries C in their names they are different, imo C# was somewhat more similar to Java rather than it is to C++, also C# is a managed language but C++ is not. Many of the things a C++ coder has to do manually are handled internally in C# like resource cleanup, thread safety etc.

Finally if wish to learn C++ prior to C# it's okay, go for the basics like loops, branching, operators, data types, structures,functions, and OOP. You may or may not opt to learn about pointers as they are not used in C# anyway.

Best of luck on your journey :)
