Abstract :
C and C++ are two most prevalent high-level general-purpose programming languages dependent on different programming design concept and method respectively. These two languages have been playing and still playing very important roles in software development for a long time. In China, with respect to C and C++ programming courses, both or one of them have been incorporated into the curricula in many universities and educational institutions for computer science (CS) majors as well as other engineering-related majors. This article will discuss phenomena occurred in the teaching process of these two language courses in China and bring forward some ideas in order to arouse attention and have more widespread and deeper discussion.
