History of C++
Developed at AT&T Bell Laboratory
in Murray Hill,New Jersey, USA in
1980.

Originally called “C with classes”

● The name C++ is based on C’s


increment operator (++)
● Indicating that C++ is an
enhanced version of C
What is C++?
An object-oriented Programming language.

(Mostly) an extension of C to include:–

● Classes
● Templates
● Inheritance and Multiple Inheritance
● Function and Operator Overloading
● New (and better) Standard Library
● References and Reference Parameters
● Default Arguments
● Inline Functions
Applications of C++
● Versatile language- used for development of editors, compilers,
databases, communication systems and any complex real-life application
systems.
● Since C++ allows us to create hierarchy-related objects, we can build
special object-oriented libraries which can be used later by many
programmers.
● While C++ is able to map the real-world problem properly, the C part of
C++ gives the language the ability to get close to the machine-level
details.
● C++ programs can be easily maintainable and expandable. When a new
feature needs to be implemented, it is very easy to add to the existing
structure of an object.
Structure of a C++ program

Include files

Class declaration

Member function definition

Main function program


Creating the source file
Use appropriate text editor depending on OS.
File extension:
● Turbo C++ and Borland C++ = .cpp
● Zortech C++ = .cxx
● UNIX = .C and .CC
● Linux = .cpp
Compiling and linking in Linux
Compiling: g++ compiler
1. g++ example.cpp : this create the default executable file
a.out
2. g++ file1.cpp file2.o : compiles the only the file file1.cpp
and links it with the previously compiled file2.o file
