Difference between C and C++?
Just wondering which came first (guessing C) and which is easier to learn (guessing C again)?

Yes, C came first.
C may be easier to learn, but C++ contains almost all of the stuff in C, and some more.

C came first (1972?), developed at Bell Labs by Kerrighan and Ritchie.
C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in the late 70's, although it was really during the early 80's that it gained any significant use.
I would say learn C++ first. This is because C++ is a superset of C, and you can do exactly the same things as you can in C, and later explore more advanced C++ features (such as Object Oriented programming).

This coming semester I'll be doing a "Basic Programming Structures" class to learn inputs, outputs, print and all that. Then we will start to learn how to translate that into a language, we will start with C I believe in second semester. Then C++ first semester of next year and advanced C++ in the following semester. I'll be taking VB and Java and things like that as some of my other classes during that time. Oh and can't forget math and english...
