C and C++

[Munyua44]

I keep wondering if c++ and c programming languages can be separated.

in the last two decades, c++ programming language has evolved too much and currently it has lee and less relationship with the c language. Does this mean that in the nearby future these two languages will be separated?

so i should not worry about what i teach my students? I have been teaching them both c and c++ and i thought it is one and the same thing

C was the precursor to C++.  Both are very useful languages to know.

C is a procedural language. It does not support objects or classes.  It supports structs which are somewhat similar to classes but not the same.

C++ is an OO (object oriented) language in addition to being procedural.
