Can I learn C++ without learning C? Is it gonna be hard? Or what advantage would I have if I already knew C before learning C++?
Last question, is it necessary to learn C before learning other programming languages?
Thanks a lot.

No language requires you to know another language in order to use it.
If you want to learn C++, learn C++.
Had you already known C, of course C++ would be easier to learn.
Opposite is just as true. After you learn C++, it will be easy to pickup C.

C++ is a superset of C. Meaning that anything you can do in C, you can do in C++.

In today's times, you are best off just going with C++ over C. There is no real reason to constrict yourself to C.
C++ extends that C language with very useful features such as:

  • An actual bool type.
  • Better memory management.
  • Casting Operators
  • Classes
  • Exception Handling
  • Namespaces
  • Templates


And tons more.
