Introduction to C++

1. What is C++ programming language?

• C++ is a high-level computer programming language.
• It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT &T`s Bell Labs in 1979.
• Initially it was known as extended version of C and called C with classes.
• In 1983 it was called C++.
• It supports: 
• Procedural Oriented Programming 
• Object Oriented Programming
• Generic Programming

2. What are the differences between C and C++?

C                             C++ C was developed by Dennis Ritchie. C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. C supports procedural oriented programming. C++ supports both procedural-oriented programming and object-oriented programming. C is known as function-driven language. C++ is known as object-driven language. C follows top-down programming approach. (First, you have to create the main function and call the functions and then define the functions) C++ follows bottom-up programming approach. (First define all the functions and then create the main function) àIt is easier to make big software by using C++.
