| Whatever you do, DONT use dev-c++. I mean its a nice IDE and is good if you use it with an alternative compiler but its default backend, MinGW is awful, will produce incorrect, big, bloated executables, and will not create libraries properly. It is also outdated.

| Two most significant differences is that C is more strict with syntax and C++ tries to standardize everything with its libraries (which you are forced to use, you cannot make small replacement runtimes like you can in C)
