AHHHH, We DIDN'T assume!  The subject INDICATES it!
PERSONALLY, I say that C should be learned almost last.  If you learn
C++, that should be learned AFTER C!  BASIC is a winner for the first
language.

COBOL, in case your curious, would be closer to basic, but come AFTER
it(unless you choose not to learn basic).
