Is it compulsory to learn C and C++, alongwith C#?

Hi, I'm a beginner in C#.


Plz tell me, could everything be done in a program using C#, or I've to learn C and C++ also?

Is it compulsory to learn C and C++, alongwith C#?
C and C++ are ..not.. necessary to learn C#. They are completely different languages, and they are not prerequisites.





Moreover, as a beginner in C#, you ..don't.. wan't to learn C and C++ right now. It's important you stick to one language and have significant experience before moving to another.





Learning C and C++ won't help you in learning C# right now. But it will have a detrimental effect. C# has its own idiom for programming. C has its own and C++ too. You don't want to pick up the wrong approach.
Reply:No. The syntax is slightly different for all of them. You should be okay with just the one C# unless you have an interest in the earlier versions.





Cheers :-)
Reply:I've been using C# professionally for over a year now, and I started with only the most basic of experience with C++, and I don't think it was relevant at all.





I've had experience with other languages, and that experience helped me to build more logical solutions, but there's nothing specific about C/C++ that you need to know.
