C++ History
C++ programming language history started in early 1980's, “B Stroustrup” was developed C++ Language at AT&T Bell Laboratories when B Stroustrup was doing research on PHD thesis. Its first name was C with classes. Later changed to C++. This language was based on c programming with object oriented features.
The American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) developed a standard of consistency for C and C++
programming
The aim of the C++ language was designed increase the efficiency
and conciseness of C with the object-oriented programming features of SIMULA-67
.It was combination of programming languages, Simula I and Simula 67, that was developed
in the 1960s). C++ history tells initial release was in 1985. Stroustrup also
wrote a textbook for the language name “The C++ Programming Language”. First edition
was published in early 1986.
C++ language can be consider as super set of c language and syntax
code C++ is very similar with C language. C
is a procedural programming language and does not support objects, classes and
while C++ language is a combination of both procedural and object oriented
programming language. C++ supports OOP feature like Inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation
etc. Sometime C++ called a hybrid language.
Let's
see the programming languages that were developed before C++ language.
