C++ Definition

C++ is a widely used programming language that is considered by most to be general-purpose and high-level. Originally presented in 1979 by a programmer Bjarne Stroustrup as an addition to C language. It covers a wide spectrum of development needs from creating web browsers and operating systems to building in-game structures and various applications.

Being an object-oriented programming language it utilizes data fields as objects with attributes as opposed to functions or logic compared to other languages. This approach of operations allows it to classify code and reuse it instead of rewriting it each time. Another notable advantage is its connection directly to the hardware of the computer which lets it control the system’s resources.
