C ++ ("C Plus Plus") is a programming language of a general purpose. It is regarded as average level language as it switches on a combination and language features of low level, and high level. It is statically printed in the free form, as a multiparadigm where compilation creates a machine code for target machine hardware, procedural programming of supports, abstraction of the data, the programming focused on object, and patrimonial programming.






Language has been developed Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 in Bell Labs as increase to programming language C and has originally been named "C with Classes". It has been renamed in C ++ in 1983. Language improvements have begun with addition of classes, among other features, the valid functions, operators, repeated inheritance, templates and exception processing.



C ++ the programming language standard has been ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, the current which version is 2003 version, ISO/IEC 14882:2003. The new version of the standard (known, informally, as C ++ 0x) develops.



C ++ possesses wide use in the software industry. Some of its applied areas switch on the software of systems, drivers of the device, the enclosed software, a highly effective server and applications - clients, and the entertainment software, such as video games. Some groups provide both free, and commercial C ++ the compiler software, including the Project I BEND, Microsoft, Intel, Borland and others.
