Then ignore your intuition; Joep is correct on both accounts (the syntax
doesn't matter and you did a good job in your reply). I will say this,
though; you can learn all the fundamentals of programming with C++
alone. If you're not interested in Object Oriented Programming or
fourth-generation languages, you can learn everything you need in C.
However, I don't think it's a good idea to learn everything in one
language, learn several. The two you've chosen are not a bad start. But
at some point, not far down stream, you should meander out to look at
what OOD has to offer.
