What is c?
C is a general-purpose high-level programming language. It is used to develop portable applications and firmware. C was developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1970. The first main application of C is the Unix Operating System.
The main features of C include low-level access to memory, a simple set of keywords, and a clean style. C language is a suitable language for Operating system development. Many languages like PHP, Java, JavaScript, etc developed using the syntax of C language.C is a structural programming language and it is a very popular language.
Features Of C language
- C contains a certain number of keywords. The set of primitives like if for, while, switch, etc.
- There are many logical and mathematical operators and also includes bit manipulators.
- We can also apply many assignments on a single level.
- C not always required the return value of functions we can also ignore it.
Some example of where we use C programming language:
- Operating System
- Compilers
- Database
- Application Software
- System Software
- Network driver
What is C++?
C++ is known as an Intermediate language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup and it is a combination of high level and low-level language.C++ is Object Oriented programming language and it is run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS or etc Operating System.
C++ has many features with the OOPs concepts:
- Polymorphism
- Abstraction
- Encapsulation
- Inheritance
Difference between C and C++ programming languages
You can find many differences between C and C++. some highlighted differences are mentioned here.
| C | C++ | |
| 1. | Procedure Oriented Programming language. | Object Oriented Programming language. |
| 2. | Focused on the Procedure. | Focused on the Data more than procedure. |
| 3. | Programs are divided into small groups that is called functions. | Programs are divided into objects. |
| 4. | Function can be shared through global data. | Function can only share the data of the same class. |
| 5. | TOP-Bottom Approach is followed. | Bottom -Up Approach is followed. |
| 6. | C is a subset of C++. | C++ is a superset of C. |
| 7. | C contains 32 keywords. | C++ contains 52 keywords. |
| 8. | scanf() and printf() functions are used for input/output in C. | Cin and Cout are used for input/output in C++. |
| 9. | Exception Handling not supported. | it’s supports Exception Handling. |
| 10. | Not Supports OOPs concept. | Supports OOPs concepts. |
| 11. | stdio.h is used as header file. | iostream.h is used as header file. |
| 12. | malloc() and calloc() functions is used for dynamic memory allocation, and free() for memory de-allocation. | new operator is used for memory allocation and delete operator for memory de-allocation. |
It’s was a graduation gift for my son. He seems to like it!
Every weekend i used to visit this web page, as i wish
for enjoyment, since this this website conations really good funny stuff too.
