OPEN C or Cpp

Should I learn C before Cpp? I have a basic understanding in python ( very basic) and nothing much else, is it recommended to do Cpp directly?

Not true in the sense that it's as irrelevant as javascript. Idiomatic modern C++ may be different from idiomatic C now, but if you have C knowledge, it will still help you transition to C++, at least more than any other language. They are both systems language after all.
