C++ is definitely more powerful because it has every features of C and more. All program written in C will compile with error with C++ compiler. So, C++ has more weapon to handle complexity!

c and c++ programming on the same environment.....both are powerful...it depends on our work what we want.....if we work on object oriented than we use c++ other wise c

As one said, C++ is just an extension to the C language. The '++' means that the C language (procedural) has been extended with oriented object concept. When you program in C++, it's the same thing that when you program in C, except you're using objects instead of only procedures and functions. Anyway, you can't write pure C++, it's always a mix of C features and the oriented object side (the '++' side).

c++ is always more powerful than c because of it's flavor of object oriented technology.

C++ adopt Object Oriented consept. so, its more easily to write your program in C++ . C++ is also more feature than c because C++ is develope from c languanges.

Both are same languages, but C++ is just an extended version of C. C++ I think has the ability to handle programs for efficiently and so C++ is termed as efficient, whereas C is also very easy and fast language. But if you ask me, you should first learn C before C++ as learning C++ will not teach you the basic concepts of programming.

Both are good languages, sometimes you will need C sometimes C++ to do what you want to do.

Both are good. If you know C then it should be easy to know C++ too and vice versa. When you know both, you'll know when to use them. As for me, if I'm going to develop something that can be developed using C and C++, I'll prefer using C++ because I'll have a lot of method I can use with it. But if I can only use C to solve the problem, I'll have no problem using it too. :D

i think c and cpp are similar with some extra properties in cpp .the speed of processing in cpp is better.
