Study Notes

C++ Overview

  • Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs.
  • Operates across various platforms including Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX.
  • It's a middle-level programming language, combining high-level and low-level features.

Language Characteristics

  • Statically typed: Type checking occurs during compile-time.
  • Compiled, general-purpose, and case-sensitive.
  • Supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming paradigms.
  • Originally named "C with Classes," renamed to C++ in 1983.

Standard Libraries

  • Comprises three main components:
    • Core Language: Provides fundamental building blocks like variables, data types, and literals.
    • C++ Standard Library: Offers functions for file manipulation, string handling, and other utilities.
    • Standard Template Library (STL): Includes methods for managing data structures efficiently.

Learning C++

  • Emphasis on grasping programming concepts is crucial for becoming a better programmer.
  • C++ accommodates multiple programming styles, allowing for diversity in approach and design.
  • Enhances capability in designing and maintaining both new and legacy systems.

Applications of C++

  • Extensively utilized across various application domains by a large number of programmers.
  • Ideal for writing device drivers and software requiring direct hardware manipulation under real-time constraints.
  • Popular in educational and research settings for teaching foundational programming concepts.
  • Key user interfaces for both Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs are implemented using C++.
