C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language. It is therefore possible to code C++ in a "C style" or "object-oriented style." ... However, it was renamed C++ in 1983.
2. →C++ is a complied, general-purpose programming
language, It is regard as a middle-level language,
as it comprises a combination of both high-level
and low-level language features. It was developed
by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labg
as an enhancement to the C programming language
and originally named "C with classes", It was
renamed C++ in 1983

5. What programmer says about
c++ language
-"The evolution of languages: FORTRAN is a non-typed language. C is a weakly
typed language. Ada is a strongly typed language. C++ is a strongly hyped
language." Ron Sercely. Programmer.
–"The latest new features in C++ are designed to fix the previously new features
in C++." David Jameson. Author.
–"Fifty years of programming language research, and we end up with
C++"Richard A. O'Keefe. Computer scientist.
"Ever spend a little time reading comp.lang.c++ ? That's really the best place to
learn about the number of C++ users looking for a better language." R. William
Beckwith.
–"C++ has its place in the history of programming languages. Just as Caligula has
his place in the history of the Roman Empire." Robert Firth.
"Java is C++ without the guns, knives, and clubs."
James Gosling, co-inventor of Java.

–“C++ is designed to allow you to express ideas,.”
6. Why I prefer c++ language
–Because this is one of the most popular programming languages
ever created, C++ is widely used in the software industry. Some of
its application domains include systems software, application
software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance
server and client applications, and entertainment software such as
video games. Several groups provide both free and proprietary C++
compiler software, Microsoft, Intel and Borland. C++ has greatly
influenced many other popular programming languages, most
notably Java.
C++ is also used for hardware design, where design is initially
described in C++, then analyzed, architecturally constrained, and
scheduled to create a register transfer level hardware description
language via high-level synthesis.
