I'm looking to take a class that focuses on C for credit, but my local community college only offers a C++ course. Another community college nearby has a C/C++ class, but I'm curious about how much emphasis will be placed on C versus C++. Would I be better off taking just C++ at the closer school?

If you can find out what textbook they'll be using, it can give you a clue. If it's a C++ book, then chances are they'll focus more on C++ than C.

I work with both languages, and I'd be cautious about that C/C++ class. They are quite different, and it's often assumed that C++ is just C with added features, which isn't true. You may end up with misconceptions if you mix them too much. A dedicated C++ class might give you a stronger foundation.

It's tough to say without knowing the specific program and instructor. I suggest reaching out to people who have taken the class before or checking if the college has their course details online.

Make sure to read the course description and don't hesitate to ask the instructor directly. Random opinions online might not give you the answer you need.

There's really no way to know precisely how much C you'll get in a C/C++ class. A lot of times, these courses end up being taught as "C with classes" and don't dive deeply into C specifics.
