Does Arduino use C or C

Question

Coming from Python  the whole C C   thing is kind of alien to begin with    and then I see in one place that Arduino uses  standard  C  and in another that it uses  standard  C    so on and so forth   Which is it   My admittedly crude understanding of the difference between the two is that C   is  roughly  C with classes objects   How does that affect which language or dialect  C or C    should I concentrate on learning for use primarily with Arduino

Arduino doesn t run either C or C    It runs machine code compiled from either C  C   or any other language that has a compiler for the Arduino instruction set   C being a subset of C    if Arduino can  run  C   then it can  run  C   If you don t already know C nor C    you should probably start with C  just to get used to the whole  pointer  thing  You ll lose all the object inheritance capabilities though

Arduino sketches are written in C     Here is a typical construct you ll encounter   LiquidCrystal lcd 12  11  5  4  3  2       lcd begin 16  2   lcd print  Hello  World       That s C    not C   Hence do yourself a favor and learn C    There are plenty of books and online resources available

Both are supported  To quote the Arduino homepage      The core libraries are written in C and C   and compiled using avr-gcc   Note that C   is a superset of C  well  almost   and thus can often look very similar  I am not an expert  but I guess that most of what you will program for the Arduino in your first year on that platform will not need anything but plain C
