C++ Introduction

What is C++?

C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications.

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to the C language.

C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory.

The language was updated 5 major times in 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023 to C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, and C++23.

Why Use C++

C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages.

C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and embedded systems.

C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.

C++ is portable and can be used to develop applications that can be adapted to multiple platforms.

Application in C++

1. The following are the real-life applications of C++:The MySQL database was written in C++.


2. One of the most popular web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox is written in C++


3. Many Python libraries for Data Science and Machine Learning are written in C++, such as OpenCV, TensorFlow, and SciPy.


4. MongoDB, a NoSQL database is written in a lot of programming languages, one of them being C++.


5. The Operating Systems, Windows and Mac are written in C and C++.


6. Games are also developed in C++.
