Does learning C gives a better understanding of C++?

Question

Well, I learned a little about C++ around 6 years ago and I almost forgot everything as I stopped using it. However, I am now eager to gain deeper insights into this programing language as I will probably need it in the near future. I want to use this programming language for mostly numerical methods that solve a certain scientific problem so my main concern is about performance in calculations.

They say that C++ has come into existence mainly based on C. So I was wondering that if learning the C language is suitable for this purpose or not?

Answer 1

No, not anymore. In fact, some efficient C practices are consided bad C++ practices.
