Question regarding a book for C++

Hi all.

A course I am has Beginning C prescribed for our C++ work, but I am wondering, is this correct? Why not Beginning C++ by the same author? We code in C++ and learn C++, when starting a project in Code::Blocks we select C++.

I may just be confused.

Thanks for the help.

C is the underpinnings for C++. If you do not understand C, your understanding of C++ will be poor. Most people skip it... and most programmers are poor.
