C language

starting to get into programming, learnt a bit of c++ but getting quite confused sometimes.
Should I learn C then learn C++ or just carry on with c++ and give it more time??
cheers

C++ is just an extension of C. Depending on the book you're using, learning C beforehand is usually not required because a (Good) book will teach you all you need to learn about C and extend this knowledge by incorperating C++ into it.

C is simpler to work with if you are brand new to programming.

I am sorry, but this is simply not true. It is the opposite way around.

C is vastly smaller than C++, so technically, there is less to learn.

Does not mean it is easier to learn.

Just continue with c++, why stop now?

Can you name what is so harder in C and not in C++?

Not much, more preprocessor stuff is added. Generally, C++ is less prone to memory leaks. (As there's quite a bit more memory management available than C)

I've been using C and C++ for over 5 years, so I know; I was just asking the guy what he thinks
