Seriously, though, C is a small, simple, fast, easy-to-learn language. C++
is a larger, more complex, sometimesnotquitesofast, hard-to-learn language.
C++ provides support for many programming paradigms, such as procedural
programming, object-oriented programming, and generic programming. Whilst
all these things are *possible* in C, it only *supports* procedural
programming.
I heartily agree with your decision to start with C. But then I would. You
see, I'm a C bigot. You will encounter plenty of C++ bigots, too, some of
whom are otherwise rather decent people. :-)
