No it is not.

You can, although you might not want to. The two languages are vastly
different and enough so that you never need use C like programming in
C++ if you don't want to. The two langauges do have a lot of overlap
though so effectively learning C or C++ is learning something about the
other one, even if it is only operators and types.
