Except OOP, why is C++ better than C? [closed]

Question

Well that may sound like a troll question, but since C++ seems hard to fully master (and I never really knew STL was actually "part" of it), I wanted to know what are the disadvantages to use C instead of C++ when not relying much on OOP.

C++ can have a very much sophisticated syntax sometimes, which is kinda confusing me while trying to use OGRE3D for example...

Answer 1

Non-OO features that C++ has that C does not:

1. Templates
2. Function overloading
3. References
4. Namespaces
5. You can use structs and enums without writing struct or enum before every declaration or using typedefs.
6. Even if you don't define your own classes, using C++'s string and container classes is still often more convenient and safe to work with than c-style strings and arrays.
7. Type safety (even though some would call it weak)
8. Exceptions
9. Variable declarations in conditionals, C99 only has it in for
