C and C++ simultaneously?

Question

I'm learning C and C++ simultaneously. Is that a good idea?

Answer 1

the biggest and most noticeable difference from C++ and C, is that C++ supports object oriented programing. If you learn C++, the C language will be like C++ to you, just with less features

Answer 2

Its your wish, you may, but now, its better to learn the languages separately, as then you will be able to clearly appreciate the differences in practices that exist in the languages with time.

Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, also mentioned on his FAQ page that you don't have to learn C to understand C++.

Answer 3

Sure, they are quite similar anyway.

Answer 4

yep, I only learned C++ but had to code a lot of C for projects at university and it was no problem
