C++

A language that is spoken all over the world. It is one of the few languages that originated with writing, not talking. It is derived from English, but it uses symbols like ; " # { in the everyday speech. It is very good when you want to be specific.

c++

C++ is a programming language developed by Bell Labs in 1983 and based on the C programming language. C++ is an object-oriented mid-level programming language. It has support for multiple inheritance, operator overloading, templates and exception handling.

C++ is widely used for large projects where both the power of low-level programming (for execution speed) and high-level object oriented programming (for development speed) is needed.

Some find C++ hard to learn and mistakes are easily made by the novice programmer. Languages such as Java and C# are derived from C++ and try to make the job a bit easier for the programmer. However, these languages lack the execution speed and some of the advanced features of C++.

C++ "hello world" example:

#include <ostream>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
