| C++ is a general-purpose, high-level programming language with low-level facilities. It is a statically typed, free-form,multi-paradigm language, supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, generic programming and RTTI. | |
| Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ (originally named “C with Classes”) in 1983 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the Cprogramming language. | |
| Enhancements started with the addition of classes, followed by, among other features, virtual functions, operator overloading, multiple inheritance,templates, and exception handling. A new version of the standard (known informally as C++0x) is being developed. | |
| C++ became popular because it combined traditional C programming with object-oriented programming (OOP) features. Smalltalk and other OOP languages did not provide the familiar structures of conventional languages such as C and Pascal. | |
| Since the 1990s, C++ has been one of the most popular commercial programming languages. Microsoft’s Visual C++ is the most widely used C++ language. | |
