Yeah, C is roughly a subset of C++.
Not quite. C came out in '72 while C++ came out in '85 and is an extension of C.
I don't think the time of release of the languages matters. I've sometimes seen people say C++ is a superset of C, so I think it can be said that C is a subset of C++.
I've heard initially, C++ was implemented as CFront, which was a literal extension of C, but C++ has evolved to be its own stand-alone implementation.
