Is it important to learn C before learning C++. And what are the advantage of learning c first .

Question

I heard that both are much the same; just C is the old version

Answer 1

No it is not compulsory to learn c before c++ you can first learn c++ and then c

both the languages are quite similar to each other but not exactly the same....

Answer 2

they aren't the same thing, they are quite different and i think is better to learn c before cpp so you can learn also the basics of cpp and the syntax of a lot of PL

Answer 3

It is not compulsory to learn C first then C++
You can learn c++ first and then you can move on to c
C++ is same as C only it include Classes & Objects

Answer 4

no it's your choice..

Answer 5

So what is it in c that is not included in c++ .

Answer 6

Os is it compulsory to learn both like you said I can learn c++ and then c .

Answer 7

No. they are different and independent languages. There are many common features (because C++ was, obviously, based on C),but with different paradigms after all. Even being able to run a C code in a C++ compiler for obtaining a operable .exe, a bad pratice in general case, there is no reason to learn one intendend to get aveasier way to learn the other. It's like learning oud for a future better performace when studying spanish guitar. Could be usefull, but...

Answer 8

Because of the OOP extensions in C++, the syntax will sometime be subtly different from C. Pick up most C++ books and they will have many warnings about how this feature differs from plain C. Learn both if you will be able to use them. The order should not matter. Just be aware you will always be having to remember those differences.

Answer 9

Not both are same but their is big differnce
C is procedrual oriented programing language
While c++ is object oriented programming language
So c++ provide extra feature
Like
Object
Class
Inheritence
Polymorphisom
Message passing etc

Answer 10

No, You Can Learn C++ Without Knowing C. If You Start With C++ You Can Learn any language with ease!
