Just because it is old doesn't make it outdated. It's still by far the most powerful language of it's kind, and used by millions every day. Simply typing "c++" into a search engine would've made that obvious.

Actually having worked in the industry for over 20 years, I can tell you this....
C is not even outdated. There are more jobs in C than probably all other languages combined. Colleges and universities are pushing the new and sexy languages, but neglecting the computing basics.
Rather than concentrating on the "new" languages, learn languages that will find you a job. Learn C, learn C++. Forget about java and the rest - learn them afterward if you have an interest.
Instead of learning additional languages, learn debugging, mathematics, algorithms, presentation skills and more algorithms. These skills will be worth more than a dozen additional languages.

C and C++ are still extensively used, most programming languages have different strengths. C and C++ create faster programs than more modern languages like Java and Python. C and assembly are still used extensively for operating system development.

its old but still in use and its good that you learn c++ first then you can switch to any other new language like Visual c++j, C Sharp, Java etc etc,

Remember this OLD IS GOLD so C++ is still best
