C++ Introduction


  • What is C++ Language?
  • C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language that is viewed by many as the best language for creating large-scale applications. C++ is a superset of the C language. C++ is a middle-level language rendering it the advantage of programming low-level (drivers, kernels) and even higher-level applications (games, GUI, desktop apps etc.). The basic syntax and code structure of both C and C++ are the same

    The name of C++ signifies the evolutionary nature of the changes from C. “++” is the C increment operator.

    C++ is one of the predominant languages for the development of all kind of technical and commercial software.

    • Why Use C++
    • C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages.

      C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and embedded systems.

      C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.

      C++ is portable and can be used to develop applications that can be adapted to multiple platforms.

      C++ is fun and easy to learn!

      As C++ is close to C, C# and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to C++ or vice versa.


    • Difference between C and C++
    • C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both languages have almost the same syntax.

      The main difference between C and C++ is that C++ supports classes and objects, while C does not.


    • Get Started
    • This tutorial will teach you the basics of C++.

      When you are finished with this tutorial, you will be able to write C++ programs and create real-life examples.

      It is not necessary to have any prior programming experience.
