Study Notes
C++ Programming Language Overview
- C++ is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup.
- It was first released in 1985 as an extension of the C programming language and has since expanded significantly, incorporating object-oriented, generic, and functional features.
- C++ is almost always implemented as a compiled language, and there are multiple vendors providing C++ compilers, including the Free Software Foundation, LLVM, Microsoft, Intel, Embarcadero, Oracle, and IBM.
- The language was designed with systems programming and embedded, resource-constrained software in mind, emphasizing performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use.
- C++ has found utility in various contexts, including software infrastructure, resource-constrained applications, desktop applications, video games, and servers.
