C and C++ are similar, but are different. However, a lot of things are the same, so we should be able to help you.

well from what i have heard c++ is just an updated version of c, which is why you can compile a lot of c code in c++ compilers, but you cant compile c++ code in a compiler that was made for c or something like that. (get it like with the increment operator++) c++ has "stuff" that c doesnt.

C++ is a superset of C. The only way that valid C code is not valid C++ code is if the C code uses one of the C++ specific keywords an an identifier. (C also has less stringent type checking, but errors caused by this are very easy to fix)
