I was not saying your idea was a bad thing. It is a good learning habbit to ask for help when you get stuck on somthing.
I was more addressing the quoted post in regards to what that poster said "If C is too hard go with C++ as it is easier" That was my argument. Your theory like you stated above is a good one and it shows you are wulling to put a little effort and research into somthing if you get stuck.
