Should you learn c first before c plus plus?

Answer 1

Learning C before C++ may be considered beneficial, as the concepts in C++ expound upon the concepts of C. However, it is unnecessary to learn C, as virtually any C++ course or resource will include all of the fundamentals that were inherited from C. Also, some concepts in C changed in C++ (to better methods), so learning C first will cause the learner to have to change some of their habits when they move to C++. For example, in C you would exclusively use printf for outputting to a screen, while in C++, you would want to use stream classes, so there would be some unnecessary learning.
