How does having a widely adopted c plus plus standard help game programmers?

A standardised language means that code becomes completely portable between any compiler, so long as the compiler supports the standard and the code itself does not contain compiler-specifics. In terms of game development, this makes it much easier to port games between platforms.
Of course, C++ code is usually far from standard because the standard does not include platform-specifics (in terms of hardware and operating system). Thus each platform requires it own set of libraries. Generic libraries are available to make things easier (such as OpenGL and OpenAL for graphics and audio), but Windows API calls vary greatly from Linux API calls, and each needs its own set of libraries. However, with prudent use of preprocessor definitions (macros) and helper functions, it is possible to write generic cross-platform code.

What is a computer program written in English language called?
Pseudocode. However, pseudocode is not a programming language as such. It is a language that a programmer uses specifically to convey the concept of a specific algorithm to other programmers. The language is such that any programmer can easily translate the algorithm into their preferred language. Furthermore, pseudocode does not have to be written in English, it can be written in any language. However, English is the most widely-spoken language within the programming community and is therefore the most prevalent language used in programming.

List two advantages and two disadvantages of having international standards for network protocols?
Advantages: We have a standard to work on i.e we know that another person working on it wil follow what we do. Secondly as it becomes widely used, the effective usage increases...it becomes easy for people to make applications that use such protocols. Disadvantages: Often standards made tend to limit themselves in a way or the other. Once made it's difficut to change a standard when we have better methods found.
