Introduction to C++ C is a programming language developed in the 1970’s alongside the UNIX operating system. C is a programming language developed in the 1970’s alongside the UNIX operating system. C provides a comprehensive set of features for handling a wide variety of applications, such as systems development and scientific computation. C provides a comprehensive set of features for handling a wide variety of applications, such as systems development and scientific computation. C++ is an “extension” of the C language, in that most C programs are also C++ programs. C++ is an “extension” of the C language, in that most C programs are also C++ programs. C++ as opposed to C, supports “object-oriented programming” C++ as opposed to C, supports “object-oriented programming”

Why C++? Bad news Bad news C++ is not easy to learn C++ is not easy to learn Good news: Good news: Lots of good-paying jobs for programmers because C++ is not easy to learn Lots of good-paying jobs for programmers because C++ is not easy to learn Java uses C++ syntax, it is easy to learn java if you know C++ Java uses C++ syntax, it is easy to learn java if you know C++ Though C++ is not the easiest language(Basic and Pascal are easier), it is not the hardest either(Ada, Prolog and Assembly languages are really difficult) Though C++ is not the easiest language(Basic and Pascal are easier), it is not the hardest either(Ada, Prolog and Assembly languages are really difficult)

Why C++? Almost as efficient as C Almost as efficient as C Appropriate for many design methodologies Appropriate for many design methodologies Large base of programmers Large base of programmers Extensive standard library Extensive standard library Designed to scale well Designed to scale well ANSI/ISO standard ANSI/ISO standard

Why C++ is very important? Compliant with C, but better than C Compliant with C, but better than C Protect legacy codes Protect legacy codes More safe More safe Easier for debugging Easier for debugging Support data abstraction Support data abstraction Support 4 kinds of Programming and Design style Support 4 kinds of Programming and Design style Procedure-Based Programming Procedure-Based Programming Object-Based Programming Object-Based Programming Object-Oriented Programming Object-Oriented Programming Especially useful in modern project developing Especially useful in modern project developing Generic Programming Generic Programming Necessary for excellent programs Necessary for excellent programs
