What is more popular: C or C++?

Question

In many of universities students learns C++ language, but somewhere they learns C. I want to know which language do you prefer? Which language do you recommend?

Answer 1

C++ is like C on steroids. C++ is an object oriented programming language.
C is mostly used to do low level programming like writing drivers for devices, kernels.
many programming languages are based on C.
so mostly you go back to C for history and what it's like to code without all the new fancy things.
