Some must to know Facts about C++

So, first of all, WELCOME to this C++ Tutorials. In this tutorial series, we are going to cover C++ concepts, from Basics to Advance.

First of all let us know something about the language we are going to learn, which everyone should know. We are going to discuss History of C++ (don't worry, it's not much boring), what is so special with C++? And the most important and most interesting thing, which every newbie is curious about, Where C++ is used?
If you don't understand some terms, don't worry, you will learn them all as we go ahead in course.

So let's move ahead…

1. History of C++

- C++ is developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983.

Bjarne Stroustrup

- It is derived from the C language. Stroustrup took Language semantics of the C language and Object Oriented features from Simula 67 language and developed “C with Classes”, which was further named “C++” by Dennis Richie.

C + OOP = C++

.2. What is special with C++?

- C++ is a General Purpose Language, means it can be used to create a variety of applications for the variety of platforms.

- C++ is a Middle-Level Language, i.e., it is close to Humans as well as computer also. It can be easily understood and learned by humans as well as it is close to computer architecture, hence easily converted to computer understandable format.

- It is a Procedure Oriented (POP) as well as Object Oriented (OOP) language. We will discuss this later on in future. 

- As C++ is close to computer architecture, programs made with C++ are very efficient and fast as compared to other programming languages.

- C++ is the best to understand all computer programming approaches. It is the best language to understand OOP.

- One who knows C++ can easily learn a new programming language because most of the programming languages are derived from C++ or use a similar structure like C++.

3. Where C++ is used?

C++ is used to develop a variety of application, which includes:

Games: as C++ is a memory and performance efficient language, most of the games on this planet are developed in C++. For example, GTA-V is totally based on C++.

Graphics Applications: Most of the code of Adobe applications are written in C++.

Operating System: C++ is widely used to write most of the code for Operating Systems, like Windows.

Graphics Libraries: many of the graphics libraries are developed in C and C++, like SDL, SFML etc.

Compiler: C++ is also used to write compilers.

Programming Languages: C++ is most widely used to develop new programming languages. For example, Java is developed in C++.

So this was all one should know about C++. I hope you enjoyed. This was only to cheer up you guys before we start real learning. In next articles, we gonna learn some real programming related stuff.
