Introduction to programming in C and C++

C is procedural programming language and C++ is an object oriented programming language. Most of the features of C and C++ are the same. C++ is just advanced version of C.

The C++ proghramming language was developed at AT & T bell laboratories in the early 1980's bu Bjarne Stroupstrup. He found 'C' lacking for simulations and decided to extend the language bu adding features from his favourite language, Simula 67. Bjarne called it as C with classes originaaly. The name C++ was coined  by Rick Mascitti where "++" is C increment operator. The maturation of C__ language was attested by two events:

• The formation of an ANSI (American national standard institute) C++ committee and

• The publication of The Annotated C++ Reference Manual by Ellis and Stroupstrup.

The latest C++ standards document was issued by ANSI/ ISO in the year 2003.

NOTE: If you learn C, it is very easy to understand C++, and if you learn C++, it's very easy to undestand C. Both are equivalent. You just need to command over any one language.

This is introduction to C and C++ programming.  In the further post you will learn programming in C and C++.
