Am I missing something here? When does C have OO capability?
Structs don't count. What about inheritance and polymorphism?
That's in the implementation AND application. Just because you CAN
access part of a lowly struct, doesn't mean you have to. It's object
oriented if you OBSERVE the

I've been programming in C for over 20 years.
I've gotten up to speed on C++ for work.
I like the expression in C you can shoot yourself in the foot,
in C++ you can blow off your leg.
C++ does have advantages -- but I haven't seen most C++
programmers use them -- instead they often obscure

First learn how to write good programs in C.
Then see if C++ buys you anything extra.
If it doesn't, you

My take on computer science (which is an oxymoron) is this:
Researchers look at successful programmers and try to figure out
what they're doing.
In the 70s, it was structured programming.
In the late 80s it was object oriented.
You can manipulate the data with a struct -- put in function

You can't learn C++ without learning C first. So I'd suggest you
become
intimiately familiar with C, and then move on to the advanced concepts
and
features that C++ provides once you want/need to use them.

Again, it depends on WHAT you'd like to program.
