Is C needed for C++?

Question

I wanted to learn C++ but I'm a bit confused about C and C++...is C essential for C++?? or should I just skip C and learn C++??

Answer 1

C is essential, but it is a subset of C++. Learning C++ teaches you C (but leaves out what won't work in a C compiler i.e. classes.)

Answer 2

Just learn c++ and you can learn whats doesn't work in c if you'll ever need it.

Answer 3

C++ is a language in its own right. Learn C++.
