Study Notes

C++ History

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, who was the head of AT&T Bell Labs until 2002.
Stroustrup worked on C++ at AT&T Bell Labs.

C Programming Language

C programming language was first introduced by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at AT&T's Bell Laboratories, USA.
C was implemented for the first time in the DEC PDP-11 computer.
Dennis Ritchie developed C using concepts from BCPL and B, adding data typing and other powerful features.

Development of C++

The development of C++ began in 1979 when Bjarne Stroustrup was working on his Ph.D. thesis.
Stroustrup was influenced by Simula, the first language to support Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm.
Stroustrup wanted to implement OOP in software development, but Simula was too slow for practical use.
He began working on C with classes, creating a new language that combined OOP with C programming language features.
C++ was developed as a successor to C programming language.
