what are some differences between C and C++?
 
they are similar are they not? i asked this before at a forum for a game add on (what a place) and the writer of the game add on said they are very similar but there's just a few differences between them. what are those differences?

sorry if it's a dumb question but i'm only at page 100 of my Learn C++ in 21 Days book then i hear some guy say "C is the mother of all languages, you should learn it first"

Well, c++ gives you a little more features (classes and function overloading mainly) but it is a slower than just plain c.
Since C++ is just an improved C, you can use plain C and compile it using a C++ compiler.

Classes, virtual functions, polymorphism in general, templates...

In C++ you have more modularity -- I think that would be the way to put it. You get some things that you cant get in C, like Classes and function overloading.

The basic thing C++ adds to C are object oriented programming constructs. These are things like classes, methods, inheritance, and overloading. These can be very useful for GUI programs, but are also often a source of bloat.

The real difference is in the amount of hair that you rip out of your head and the amount of beer consumed while coding! :)

Code:
main()
{
    int C = 1;

    while (0) {
          C++;
    }
}

}
:D

shouldn't that be int main()? Your while loop never gets executed since 0 is false. You forgot to return 0 at the end also!!!

What an atrocity!!! :)
