| Too numerous to list. To be basic, C++ is a higher-level version of C, more modern, flexible and powerful. The best depends on where you want to use it, and it's also subjective because everyone has a different opinion. If it's computer software, the "best" choice I would make is C++. Same goes for games. For drivers you will end up stuck with C. For embedded systems, support for C++ may be scarce, so you may have to use C for this.

| I took a look at your web site. It looks like you want to do windows programming, or port something to windows. (I do not read your language.) To that end, if you're interested in doing that right away, find out what you want to port is written in, and learn about it.

You'll cause the same riot either way. So I'll just say learn D instead!  Other than that, just STFW!

| Ah, but I think that isn't what nathanpc is after. What he/she is after is not the backwards compatibility of C++, but rather what is a considered a good C++ program vs a good C program.

| Sometimes the answers people are after are deceptive and wrong.

| I agree, but I can't see why difference it would make to know the difference between ISO C and ISO C++. It seems to the OP wants to know which language to learn of C and C++, hence asking a somewhat vague question, what's best (because the OP doesn't know any better)?

If we compare C and C++, then C++ has features that lends itself from bigger projects (because C++ only adds things to C and not removes them, it would be illogical to say C has such features). As to which is better for any type of project, big or small, that's a different question.
