is C to programming on a graphing calculator?

I can program on a graphing calculator, so I was wondering how difficult it would be for me to learn C. Obviously C is a much more complex language, but is it more or less similar concepts, except with different syntax?
The basic concept of typing statements to get various run-time behaviors is still there, but C is a pretty low level language. Why don't you check out the C++ tutorials on this site and decide what you think of it: http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
This is a C++ forum. Anyway, I used to program on my TI-83 (most fun I ever had was a MasterMind clone). I think you will at least find whatever programming you can do to be a big help. Syntax is much different, but you're still basically dealing with variables, if statements, and loops. It's easier to manipulate pixels on a calculator, but there is a lot to learn before you get out of making console programs anyway.

Computers are much more powerful, I think you'll like it. :)
