I am guessing you typed the question wrong, the way I understand your question is "Why is the programming language named C++ and not C ? "

The answer to this is that there is a programming language called C, and in that programming language the ++ means increment by one. So C++ is the language C improved, as such it can read and compile all C programs in addition to having other features that C does not have.
