Introduction to C++
C++ is a programming language
created by Bjarne Stroustrup and
his team at Bell Laboratories in
1979. Forty years later, it is one of
the most widely used languages in
the world; we can find C++
applications everywhere, from the
bottom of the oceans to the surface
of Mars.

As the name implies, C++ was


derived from the C language;
Bjarne’s goal was to add object-
oriented programming into C, a
language well-respected for its
portability and low-level
functionality.

So why learn C++? Among many


other things:

It is fast and flexible.

It is well-supported.

It forces you to think in new


and creative ways.

In this lesson, we’ll start learning


some basic concepts, and you’ll
write your very first C++ program.
