DEFINITION

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." C++ is a general purpose
object oriented programming language. It is considered to be an intermediate level language. C++ is statically type,
compiled, gnereal purpose ,case sensitive, free-form programming language that supports procedural, object oriented
and generic programming.

INTRODUCTION

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T Bell Laboratories in the early 1980's, and is based on the C
language. The "++" is a syntactic construct used in C (to increment a variable), and C++ is intended as an
incremental improvement of C. Most of C is a subset of C++, so that most C programs can be compiled (i.e.
converted into a series of low-level instructions that the computer can execute directly) using a C++ compiler.
C++ is superset of C , and that virtually any legal C program is a legal C++ programs.

USES

C++ used by hundreds of thousands programmer is essential every application domain. C++ is being highly
used to write device drivers and other software that rely on direct manipulation of hardware under real time
constraints. C++ is widely used for teaching and research because it is clean enough for successful teaching of
basic concepts.

SAMPLE CODES
// The Hello world program.
// pg 46, sec 3.2, Hello, World!
// No guarantees offered. Constructive comments to [email protected]
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
// note that "return 0;" isn't required in ISO C++

// Simple inch<->cm conversion program illustrating basic I/O and computation.


// pg 50, sec 3.6, Input
// No guarantees offered. Constructive comments to [email protected]

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
const float factor = 2.54;
float x, in, cm;
char ch = 0;

// 1 inch equals 2.54 cm

cout << "enter length: ";


cin >> x;
cin >> ch;

// read a floating-point number


// read a suffix

switch (ch) {
case 'i':
// inch
in = x;
cm = x*factor;
break;
case 'c':
// cm
in = x/factor;
cm = x;
break;
default:
in = cm = 0;
break;
}
cout << in << " in = " << cm << " cm\n";
return 0;
}

// redundant in ISO C++
