What is C++

C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It has imperativeobject oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation.

C++ is an object oriented programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of C language. It is therefore possible to code C++ in a "C style" or "object-oriented style." In certain scenarios, it can be coded in either way and is thus an effective example of a hybrid language.

C++ is a general purpose object oriented programming language. It is considered to be an intermediate level language, as it encapsulates both high and low level language features. Initially, the language was called 'C with classes’ as it had all properties of C language with an additional concept of 'classes’. However, it was renamed to C++ in 1983.
It is pronounced "C-Plus-Plus."
It was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights.[4] C++ has also been found useful in many other contexts, with key strengths being software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications,[4] including desktop applications, servers (e.g. e-commerce,web search or SQL servers), and performance-critical applications (e.g. telephone switches or space probes).[5] C++ is a compiledlanguage, with implementations of it available on many platforms and provided by various organizations, including the FSFLLVM,MicrosoftIntel and IBM.

C++ is one of the most popular languages primarily utilized with system/application software, drivers, client-server applications and embedded firmware.

The main highlight of C++ is a collection of pre-defined classes, which are data types that can be instantiated multiple times. The language also facilitates declaration of user defined classes. Classes can further accommodate member functions to implement specific functionality. Multiple objects of a particular class can be defined to implement the functions within the class. Objects can be defined as instances created at run time. These classes can also be inherited by other new classes which take in the public and protected functionalities by default.
