C++ Overview

C++ is a cross-platform programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of C, known for its high performance and close hardware interaction. It is widely used in operating systems, GUIs, and embedded systems due to its object-oriented features that promote code reuse and lower development costs. Unlike C, C++ supports classes and objects, making it easier for programmers to manage system resources and develop complex applications.

C++ Overview

What is C++?
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language.
Despite being an 80s creation, C++ has been a popular programming language
throughout these years.
C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance
applications and software systems.
C++ is very close to the hardware, making it comparatively easy for programmers to
give the instructions directly to the system without any intermediary, giving
programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory.
Why should we learn C++/ Features of C++?
C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages.
In today's operating systems, GUIs, and embedded systems, C++ is widely used.
It is one of the most popular programming languages for its object-orientedness. C+
+ is an object-oriented programming language that gives a clear structure to
programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.
With C++, you can develop applications or heavy games that can run on different
platforms.
As C++ is close to other programming languages such as C# and Java, it makes it
easy for programmers to switch to C++ or vice versa, while it is actually very easy
to learn.
How is it different from C?
The syntax of C++ is almost identical to that of C, as C++ was developed as an
extension of C.
In contrast to C, C++ supports classes and objects, while C does not.
