What is difference between C and C plus plus programming?

Answer 1

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN c&c++ IS JST THAT c++ IS MODIFIED LANGUAGE AND IT IS A HOGH LEVEL LANGUAGE AS COMPARED c IS A LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE

C++ was developed as a better 'C' language. In addition, C is a procedural language only, and C++ has both procedural language features and object oriented features.

Both are considered high level languages.

C++ is an addition to C. C only allows you to write programs as a list of instructions (procedure), while C++ allows you to write separate objects, and link them together to produce a piece of software.

Answer 2

The main difference is that C++ supports object-oriented programming (OOP) while ANSI C does not. Although C++ fully supports ANSI C, you do not need to know any ANSI C to learn C++. They are in fact two separate disciplines. While a C++ programmer can quite easily use ANSI C when it is appropriate to do so, it is not quite so simple the other way around, unless you are familiar with the principals of OOP.

The flexibility of C++ is such that you can pick and choose whether to use OOP or use more traditional ANSI C methods, or mix both. Structures and procedural programming are common to both, with only slight differences in syntax, but code re-usability is more easily attained with OOP and is generally much easier to work with.

Answer 3

The main difference is that C++ is an object-oriented extension of C. Indeed, C++ was originally called "C with Classes". Since C++ is derived from C, everything you can do in C you can also do in C++, with only relatively minor changes to suit C++ coding conventions. However, the reverse is not true; C is not forwardly compatible with C++ due to the inclusion of object-oriented principals.

Answer 4

"C" is a structured programming language, function based, simple and compact. C++ is an object oriented programming language, but many people just use it as a "better C".
