which one should i learn first??

Question

should i learn c programing first or should i just start with c++? kinda hard 4 me to decide cuz i don know much about this two

Answer 1

There seems to be more of a market for C++ lately. Start with it.

Answer 2

You almost always got to learn both C and C++ at the same time. C is more of a structured langauge and C++ is all OOP.

If you don't know anything about programming I recommend you start with a language that has a easier syntax like Visual Basic. Once you learn the fundamentals of programming you can easily learn a harder language like C/C++. Visual Basic is probably the second most used language.

1) Learn to write English properly.
2) Don't bother with C if you are going to learn C++. When you learn C++, eventually you'll deal with C like programming anyway.

The reason you want to go through C++ first is because then you learn to program in C++. C++ is not C. C++ isn't C with classes thrown about. It isn't just an OO paradigm. If you learn C, you'll pick up C-ish ways of doing things, from simply defining constants and macros to handling multiple types for a single function, to the way you design your code.

Learn C++ instead, preferrably with a good book like Accelerated C++ or C++ Primer (by Lippman). They'll introduce you to templates, C++ style casting, exceptions, etc. properly.

Answer 4

hello,
first see the learning of c. because it is strong very basic language to understand the basic programming structure. all the computer comanies also need the c programmers.

if you become well in c programming then you can learn c++. c++ is the advanced version of c language. it includes more object oriented concepts.

but if you directly enter into the c++ then you will strugle little bit complex to learn and understan the object orientd concepts.

first you should familier with the variable, storage types, contorl structures(like if, while, do while and for), then functions.

because these are the basic things you need to understand before learnign programming. if you very familier with these concepts you can learn some other language easily. because in all other languages these concepts are very much similer.

so you first learn the c programming then you can put your mind into some other programming language with more confidence.

Answer 5

if u have to make choice btw C & C++, then i wud suggest C first. Thts the mother of all...
scope : C will never die.. most of the big applications/OS u use today r written in C.
programmin perspective : yes C is most recomended for beginners coz it gives u the picture of how excatly programmin is to be done. it is the most powerful language & the most vast one also. m into programmin since 4years but still i find many surprises in C till today!!!

once u r comfy with C then move on to C++..here the philosophy of programmin changes & u need to put in some more thoughts to actually visualise things.. but u'l njoy tht also once u get hold of it..

so start with C & then move on to C++
njoy!!!

Answer 6

I say start with BASIC. It's really easy to learn and after you've got the basics you can move on to other programming languages like C, C++, Java, etc. I recommend LibertyBASIC or QBASIC

Answer 7

You can learn C and then C++.
