Although the languages share common syntax they are very different in nature. C is a procedural language. When approaching a programming challenge the general method of solution is to break the task into successively smaller subtasks. This is known as top-down design. C++ is an object-oriented language. To solve a problem with C++ the first step is to design classes that are abstractions of physical objects. These classes contain both the state of the object, its members, and the capabilities of the object, its methods. After the classes are designed, a program is written that uses these classes to solve the task at hand.

C++ is a set of extensions to the C language to allow some (not all) principles of object-oriented programming to be used. Originally, C++ was a front end pre-processor for C and C++ compilers will translate C language functions.
