C++

About

C++ is a versatile, general-purpose programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C language. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. C++ is known for its efficiency and performance, making it suitable for high-performance applications such as operating systems, games, and embedded systems. Its ability to interact with hardware and manage memory directly contributes to its widespread use in systems programming. C++ includes a rich standard library and the Standard Template Library (STL), providing extensive support for data structures and algorithms. It is widely used in various domains, including scientific computing, web development, and financial systems. C++'s compatibility with C allows for seamless integration with existing C code, enhancing its utility in system-level programming. Despite its complexity, C++ remains a fundamental tool for developers due to its flexibility and the large community of users and contributors.
