Introduction of c++

C++ Tutorial – Learn C++ Programming with examples

C++ is developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs. C++ runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. This tutorial adopts a simple and practical approach to describe the concept.

Surprisingly not all computer programming languages are for programmers. Consider the classic examples of non-programmer languages, COBOL and BASIC. COBOL was designed not to better the programmer’s lot, not to improve the reliability of the code produced, and not even to improve the speed with which code can be written. Rather, COBOL was designed, in part, to enable non-programmers to read and presumably (however unlikely) to understand the program. BASIC was created essentially to allow non-programmers to program a computer to solve relatively simple problems.

 In contrast, C++ is well fitted for programmer it is middle level language and easy to learn. C++ was built upon the foundation of C. In fact,C++ includes the entire C language, and (with minor exceptions) all C programs are also C++ programs.  When C++ was invented, the C language was used as the starting point. To C were added several new features and extensions designed to support object oriented programming (OOP).
