C++ Introduction
C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications.
C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages.
C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and
embedded systems.
C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to
programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.
As C++ is close to C# and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to C++ or vice versa.
C++ is fun and easy to learn!
Difference between C and C++ :
- C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both languages have almost the same syntax.
- The main difference between C and C++ is that C++ support classes and objects, while C does not.
To start using C++, you need two things:
• A
text editor, like Notepad, to write C++ code
• A
compiler, like GCC, to translate the C++ code into a language that the computer
will understand
We will use dev C++
Applications of C++:
C++ finds varied usage in applications such as:
- Operating Systems & Systems Programming. e.g. Linux-based OS (Ubuntu etc.)
- Browsers (Chrome & Firefox)
- Graphics & Game engines (Photoshop, Blender, Unreal-Engine)
- Database Engines (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis etc.)
- Cloud/Distributed Systems
