Thats not entirely accurate.  Western Michigan University only teaches 
C++, and i can tell you that most C topics like pointers and printf 
have never come up in class.  C style strings are it, and they didn't 
even explain those.  This is a common misconception.

you can go your whole life without
printf
only using
cout << "hello world" << endl;
