Do i need C to learn C++?

Expand Post »
Hi, im new to programming. I have read alot of posts on this site and am wondering if i need to learn C before i learn C++. Is learning a language before C essential? or will i just get the hang of it.
This is my second post, asking about what to learn, i am just getting confused with what and which to learn first.
I have been told to start with VB, or just start with C, and have even read that i can just learn C++ straight away. ?!

Thanks

PS. you got any good sites for free books or tutorials?

You do not need to learn c before c++.

I found c++ so easy to learn, it should be like a walk in the park.

Re: Do i need C to learn C++?

it is much easyer to understand c++ if you know c....

C++ isnt difficult...some people think (like me) that c++ is easyer to learn than c

Perhaps, but some people still think c++ is just c with classes.

My advice would be to learn c++ on its own away from the distractions of c.
