Thread: Difference between C and C++

Hi everyone. I am BSc (IT) student. I have good knowledge of C programming language. My planning is to learning C++ programming language. Before learning C++ I want to know about what is the Difference between C and C++. All possible reply is appreciated. Thank you.

Following are the difference of C and C++:

• C is structured programming language but C++ is object oriented language.

• C is a top down approach while C++ is bottom up approach

• C doesn't support operator overloading but C++ support operator overloading.

• UNOINS AND ENUMS are not able in C and in C++ UNOINS AND ENUMS are available.

• C focus on procedure while C++ focus on data.

• C not NAMESPACE for avoid name clash but in C++ has NAMESPACE feature.

C is procedure oriented language and gives importance to procedure that is functions rather than data. C is middle level language. C++ is object oriented language and gives importance to object that is data c++ is high level language. C++ allows the programmer to create classes,which are somewhat similar to C structures. However, to a class can be assigned methods, functions associated to it, of various prototypes,which can access and operate within the class, somewhat like C functions often operate on a supplied handler pointer.
