Hi, I'm trying to get back into c/c++ programming after a 13 year break. Over the past 13 years, I have done programming in other languages, but not c/c++. But what I have done in the past 13 years, is that I've studied a lot of mathematics and mathematical theory. Now, I've just started trying to learn java again, and object oriented programming seems very foreign to me.
My question is this, with my extensive knowledge of mathematics that I've studied, would I be missing out on much if I simply ignored object oriented programming for the time being, and just stuck with c? I've found that c is very easy to relearn, as it is much more similar to mathematics than c++ and java, much of which, objects and classes I've completely forgotten.
Could I make due with only programming in c, and not relearning object oriented programming again?
