Benefits of c++ programming language

• C++ is an object oriented programming language

• It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA in

early 1980’s.

• Stroustrup, admirer of Simula67 and a strong supporter of C, wanted to combine the

best of both the languages and create a more powerful language that could support

object oriented programming features and still retain the power and elegance of C.

The result was C++.

• Therefor C++ is an extension of C with a major addition of the class construct feature

of Simula67.

• Since class was a major addition to original C language, the new language was called C

with Classes.

• However, later in 1983, the name was changed to C++.

• During early 1990’s the language underwent a number of improvements and changes.
