What is the difference between C programming and CPP programming?

Answer 1

C has no object oriented support. C++ is a superset of C that adds object-oriented support, but retains the concept of primitive variables. C# is a superset of C++, developed by Microsoft, that removes the concept of primitives, making it fully object-oriented but, unlike C and C++, is non-generic and is only useful for .NET programming. C# is not unlike Java, but Java is fully cross-platform and therefore has much wider support.

Answer 2

In C++ statement "return 0;" may be omitted at the of the function.

Also, in C all of your variables have to be declared in the beginning of the function, while in C++, you can declare variables anywhere in the function. This applies to all functions, not just the main.

Answer 3

The C and C++ languages are, at their core, very similar. C++ adds Object Oriented Programming, and several other enhancements, to the C language.

Answer 4

C++ adds object-oriented programming to C by introducing the concept of classes, which introduces inheritance, data encapsulation, polymorphism, and other object-oriented concepts.

Answer 5

In C++ 'return 0;' is optional.
