Do you have to know C or Java inorder to learn C++?

Do you "have" to know C or Java inorder to learn C++?





The answer is NO. In fact, Robert Lafore, who has written "Object Oriented Programming in Turbo C++" mentions that it is good to learn C++ straightaway so that we do not carry over the not so good programming practices in C.





I learnt C++ in my high school and then learnt C in college. I was skeptical about learning a "lower" programming language when I already knew a later language. But what learning C has taught me is why the features in C++ came to be the way they are and a better understanding of the language itself.





So dig right ahead into C++ and unlock your creativity.

Do you have to know C or Java inorder to learn C++?
It's good if you know C or Java before you learn C++.


So that you are familier with C style coding and all.


But if you are starting from scratch then also it is not bad at all.


actully it will help you concentrate more on OOP features of C++.


and you will start thinking in OOPs way.





don't worry and just go ahead.


good luck.

Reply:Basically c++ can be considered a union of c %26amp; java.





The style of coding is c and concept is java. So you should learn c but may ignore java.
Reply:No, I learned C++ in college w/o knowing C or Java.


Most programming languages follow similar logic and after you learn 1 it's more a matter of learning the correct syntax to use in each one.
Reply:not really needed but it does help you understand the concepts much more easily
