C++

C is a procedural programming language. It was initially developed by Dennis Ritchie in the year 1972. 

It was mainly developed as a system programming language to write an operating system. The main features of C language include low-level access to memory, a simple set of keywords, and clean style, these features make C language suitable for system programmings like an operating system or compiler development.

Many later languages have borrowed syntax/features directly or indirectly from C language.

Like syntax of Java, PHP, JavaScript, and many other languages are mainly based on C language. C++ is nearly a superset of C language (There are few programs that may compile in C, but not in C++).

About C++ Programming

  • Multi-paradigm Language – C++ supports at least seven different styles of programming. Developers can choose any of the styles.
  • General Purpose Language – You can use C++ to develop games, desktop apps, operating systems, and so on.
  • Speed – Like C programming, the performance of optimized C++ code is exceptional.
  • Object-oriented – C++ allows you to divide complex problems into smaller sets by using objects.

Why Learn C++?

  • C++ is used to develop games, desktop apps, operating systems, browsers, and so on because of its performance.
  • After learning C++, it will be much easier to learn other programming languages like Java, Python, etc.
  • C++ helps you to understand the internal architecture of a computer, how computer stores and retrieves information.
