The Similarities Between C and C++...

Probably a silly question but if I learn C++ and maybe "master" it, will I have good knowledge of C as well because they're extremely similar?

You will be able to pick up C pretty easily. But you wont be good at it or anything at first. You still have to learn its standard library and a few other things

C++ is the extendend version of C (it's name stands for an increment of C)

@Thomas It is a good question. It is true to learn how to use C++, you do not need to learn C++. I have not mastered C++ myself, but I feel you can go very far without knowning C programmings. The think is C++ is C and more. C programming can be used directly inside the C++ code. Making C++ EXTREMELY powerful. To sum it up I feel if you want to take C++ to the next level, spice things up with C code.
