For someone New to C should I learn C or C++ ?

I’m sure this has been asked many times, hopefully
I won’t get slammed to hard for asking it yet again…
(I’ve even did a Google search and I’m no closer to a real answer.)


I’m 46 and have used basic since I was a kid but mostly for my own personal
projects. I’ve never had a true need for C so I never learned it. But it has
always been my desire to do so (So I can say I know how to program).


So for a guy in my position what would be the best language to learn?


Thank you
