Exclamation C++ Compiler Reads C Source Codes

Hello everyone.

I am an amateur of both C++ and C programs. So, I need help.

So far, what I've heard from http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c/lesson1.html

is that "You should note that if you are programming in C on a C++ compiler, then you will want to make sure that your compiler attempts to compile C instead of C++ to avoid small compatability issues in later tutorials."

So, i'm wondering,

1) What specific problems would there be if C++ compiler tends to read C programming codes?

Anyway, the important thing is:

2) Can I continue doing my work permanently with C++ compiler for C programming codes instead of using C compiler?

I currently have Microsoft Visual C++ in hand. If this is possible, then I don't have to get another C compiler for my C program files.

Details from you people are much appreciated. Thank you in advance for helping out.
