C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications. C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory.
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language.
Language designers: Bjarne Stroustrup
Language paradigms: Object-oriented program.
There are various published Versions of C++ : C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, etc.
There are various features of C++ such as,
- Object Oriented
- Simple
- Platform Dependent
- Mid-level programming language
- Structured programming language
- Rich Library
- Memory Management
- Powerful & Fast
- Pointers
- Compiler based
- Syntax based language
Applications of C++ Programming Language :
These are various uses of C++ programming language.
- It has used to develop new programming languages, like UNIX’s C Shell,, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP and Python, and Verilog etc.
- It is used in computational programming because of fast speed and computational efficiencies.
- C++ is used in games development because of it can provide CPU intensive functions and provides greater control over hardware.
- It is used in development of operating systems like Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
- It is used in developing of core part of many browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Chrome.
- C++ also has been used in developing the most popular database system called MySQL.
- It is also used to develop software for Medical and Engineering Applications like software for MRI machines, high-end CAD/CAM systems etc.
C / C ++ is a prerequisite for all other languages. C is the foundation for the development of other programming languages.
