Introduction to C++

Introduction to C++: C++ is a concept of using OOPS in C. C++ is an object oriented programming language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT & T Bell laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey at USA in the early 1980‟s. Stroustrup an admirer of simula 67 and a strong supporter of C, wanted to combine the best of both the languages and create a more powerful language that could support object oriented programming language features and the power of c. Result was C++. C++ is an extension of c with a major addition of the class construct feature of simula 67. Stroustrup initially called C++ as „C with classes‟. Later in 1983 the name was changed to c++. The idea of c++ comes from the C increment operator ++, thereafter suggesting that c++ is an incremented version of c. OOPS stand for Object Oriented Programming Language. So, this structure uses object to write a program.
