Hello guys,

I read some articles on the net about some of the questions asked at job interviews.
I saw that many deal with the concepts that I'm not ware of, such as malloc and free.
The C++ book I've read so far did not mention them
and from what I gather, these are considered 'C' ways.

I also read Stroustrup's comment on how it is NOT necessary to know C in order to learn C++. But being here at the forum and doing some readings led me to believe I need to know C if I want to get a job as C++ programmer.

my question is how far back(or how deep) should I go in C ways of doing things?
This is a big concern for me because I feel like I do not have enough time to learn C and C++ at this point.

Thanks.
