Should i need to learn C ????
Should you learn C for better understanding of Java?





Strictly speaking. No. That's why nowadays Java is introduced as the first programming language in many School Boards. Java is Object Oriented and has many programmer friendly features like garbage collection etc.





However I tend to agree with the 10 reasons mentioned in the link. Without repeating the reasons mentioned therewith, all I would like tis is that being a programming student C would give you a ringside view of what's happening below the hood. It gives you the power to finely control the behavior of the program, but at the same time does not prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.





So go ahead, pick a copy of the classic "K%26amp;R" Programming in C, and embark on a journey that will give you child-like satisfaction!
Reply:You don't need to learn C to learn Java.





But if you are serious about becoming a programmer, you do need to learn C. Because it's like the industry standard, most commercial and open-source software are written in C (or C++ or C#, which are similar to C)
Reply:You do not need to learn any other language.But to be a good programmer you should know some basic language.C is very good,


even many shell and old unix was created with C.But now you can


learn just C++.Because C is a subset of C++.In C++, you can know all about C and much more than C.Even in the inheritance, object,


package,virtual function and in other many cases, you can find a huge similarity, so C++ will be easy to you.
Reply:Yea. It's a programming package. May it will help to u in ur future.
Reply:JAVA the way to go If you can do JAVA then you can do C++ or sharp there quite a like.
