Not only "roughly imagine"; I think the imperative languages have
so many common basic concepts that you can have a quite good idea,
especially if you know more than just two or three such languages.

But there are features, even basic ones, that are not existing in
"C" thus making especially folks who are focused to some specific
restricted or poorer language(s) obviously get confused.

Yes, C++ can be written with a "C" mindset. But this is nothing
I'd suggest. Better make yourself familiar with the new concepts
(OO, genericity, or even simple things like references). - IMO.
