C / C++
Last updated
What is C / C++?
C and C++ (commonly known as CPP) are two of the most foundational high-level programming languages in computer science. C was developed in the 1970s and it is a procedural language, meaning it follows a step-by-step approach. Its fundamental principles include structured programming and lexical variable scope.
On the other hand, C++ follows the paradigm of both procedural and object-oriented programming. It was developed as an extension to C to add the concept of "classes" - a core feature of object-oriented programming. C++ enhances C by introducing new features like function overloading, exception handling, and templates.
