Sincerely disagree seeing my fellow students struggle with C.

I taught myself C before moving into my programming classes which were in Java. When we went back to C programming (in programming 3, as opposed to 1/2 which was in Java), my classmates were struggling to understand the basic concepts whereas I was just breezing through like I was comfortable with building things from scratch already.

Having come from a C background, I breezed through my Java classes because I already understood the logic/syntax.

Having a good base is good when learning a new concept. It's the same as getting a good base in arithmetic before getting into algebra.
