I say yes. C++ is just C with classes. You don''t need to master classes, or even program with them. Lamothe is straight C, Carmack (Doom, Quake) is straight C.

But if you learn C first you''ll have to break some habits. You''ll understand C++ soon enough. Some things you don''t need to understand to write a good program but it''ll help if you do. Just don''t worry about it too much, everything will fall into place in time.

I say learn c++, c is harder to read like cows said and classes aren''t a bad thing to have around even if you don''t really need them.
Any language is going to seem like jibberish when you are first learning it. Since C and C++ are to different languages it really doesn''t matter which you learn first. Since you started with C++ you might as well stick with it.
And why exactly is C harder to read? Seems perfectly fine for me. Perhaps you are just trying to read code from the IOCCC?

I suggest you stick with C++ since you already started learning it. C and C++ are quite similar in a way that they have the same structure.So, that''s it. Stick with C++.
IMHO i think you would pick up more bad habits by learning C first, so just stick with C++. C++ is, afterall, a language in its own right. You dont have to go past the first line of a program to find a differenec between the 2 languages, e.g. main() in C is not the same as main() in C++, in C () means an unspecified amount of parameters iirc, in c++ it means no parameters. Little things like that can lead to confusion when you start mixing the two.
