C++ is an object-oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979, featuring polymorphism, inheritance, exception handling, and data encapsulation. Its powerful features facilitate code reusability and shorter code lengths, making it popular for developing applications like Mozilla Firefox and MySQL. The document also highlights the history of C++, its key features, reasons for usage, and successful applications.

1. C++

2. History of C++
 C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at bell
laboratories in 1979

3. Features in C++
 Polymorphism
“One name – many forms (just like an amoeba)”.
 Inheritance
“Deriving the properties of one class to another class”.
 Exception handling
“Raising exceptions in a program and handling them
using “try, catch, throw”.
 Data Encapsulation
“Limiting the access of objects of a class by
encapsulating”.

4. Why use C++
 C++ has some of the powerful features such as
inheritance and polymorphism which helps in code
reusability
 They reduce the length of the code to be written b
inheriting the properties of classes within the
program instead of writing them again
 C++ has a very rich function libraries as compared
to other languages
 So many successful applications were developed
using this language

5. Some successful applications
that used C++
 Mozilla Firefox web browser
 MySQL
 Google Chromium and google file systems
 Some Adobe applications

6. Summary
 C++ an object oriented approach and its uses
 History of C++
 Why we use C++
 Various features of C++
 Some successful applications that are well known
and used often
