C++ is essentially a superset of C.

So they are not the same, but most any code written in C can be compiled using C++. But there are quite a few features (including Ojbect Oriented capabilities) of C++ that are not part of plain C, so C++ code cannot be compiled using C.

In case you had not already noticed, neither C nor C++ are covered by any Treehouse courses.
