Right.  C and C++ are so close in general grammar that most C++ compilers 
handle C as well.  In fact, by and large, valid C programs are valid C++ 
programs.  (There are notable exceptions, enough to invalidate this statement 
for very large programs.)
I guess that, as far as this echo is concerned, a C++ program is a program 
that uses at least one C++ feature above and beyond that which C provides.  
However, for the basics of C, we generally direct users to the larger C_ECHO 
(larger in that most who read C_PLUSPLUS also read C_ECHO, but not 
necessarily so in the reverse, many people only read C_ECHO) where there is 
obviously more help available.
Specifically, however, C++ is an almost Object Oriented language, whereas C 
is a procedural one.  (For the pedantics, you can write OO in C, and you can 
write procedural in C++, but that goes fairly much against the grain in 
either...)  If you are writing one version in QBasic, and the other in either 
C/C++, it's probably just C.
