which one is easy to use C or C++??

C is a very easy language to learn. There are very few language instructions and syntax is simple. The complications are not with the language but with the concepts around the language.

C++ is a hodgepodge of things. The language syntax and constructs have become more complex over time. The new standards have made things worse in this regards although they have simplified the way to apply them somehow as long as you stay away from certain regions of the language.

PS - I'm ready for Daniel to go after me now...

For some reason I am in a good humour today. :)

Thanks for your suggestions :P, I take both equal easy and interesting:)
But you might get bored if it is _too_ easy? Then it won't be interesting anymore. It is at that point you realize that you used C++11.
 
then it is hard to say C is not "easier" than C++

I am a native English speaker and I don't understand this :(

I agree. I prefer the word 'toolbox' to 'hodgepodge'.
