Doing C++ home, C in school

[801119]

Greetings all...

I'm learning bcb5 at the moment at home, and have done some c++. But next year, at the university we are going to begin a C class, though I don't know why! So I need to ask you all, who knows both C and C++ what I should think of when doing C!! What differences there are... and so on!

Another thing, anyclues where I can read bout typical differences between them?! My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

The difference between c and c++ are mostly the System environment.

C++ is common in the Microsoft world, whereas c is more common in the Unix-World, and with Microcontrollers. Microprocessors and Signalprocessors.

If you have classes in Computerscience the knowledge of C makes sense. The differences are not so big. One of the biggest difference is C does not support Classes.

These should offer you some insight into the differences and similarities between C and C++.
