C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell labs in 1979, as an extension to the C language.
The major difference between C and C++ is that C is a procedural programming language;
- which means that it is derived from sequential step by step structured programming.
- Some of it's applications includes scheduling running of other programs, designing games, graphics etc.
- On the other hand C++ is a combination of procedural programming as well as object oriented programming.
- Objects consists of Data in form of it's characteristics and are coded in the form of methods.
- In object oriented programming computer programs are designed using the concept of objects that interact with the real world.
Some other differences include:
C C++
Since C is a procedural programming, it is a function driven language.
C++ is an object driven language.
In C, functions cannot be defined inside structures
In C++, functions can be used inside a structure.
C uses functions for input/output. For example scanf and printf.
C++ uses objects for input output. For example cin and cout.
C does not provide direct support for error handling (also called exception handling)
C++ provides support for exception handling. Used for errors that make the code incorrect.
C does not support reference variables.
C++ supports reference variables.
