C vs C++

C is a procedural language with manual memory management and no built-in support for classes, inheritance, or exceptions. C++ extends C with object-oriented features, templates, the standard template library, and stronger compile-time checks, while remaining mostly compatible with C syntax. Programs written in C tend to be smaller and more predictable in behavior, while C++ trades some of that simplicity for abstraction and reuse. Choosing between them usually depends on whether the project needs low-level control or higher-level abstractions.
