What is C++ and Its important Features

C++ language is a direct descendant of C programming language with additional features such as type checking, object oriented programming, exception handling etc. You can call it a “better C”. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ is a general purpose language language, when I say general purpose it simply means that it is designed to be used for developing applications in a wide variety of domains.

Features of C++

C++ is fast Easy to learn A powerful programming language Has many built-in functions and operators which can make complex programs easy Can be compiled on a number of computer platforms C++ is an object-oriented programming language. Use of pointer makes it a much more powerful language. Also largely used in many large-scale projects

Input, Conventions, Keywords, Identifiers in C++

Whitespace

In C++, whitespace refers to spaces, tabs and newlines. In some places in our code, whitespace is necessary whereas, in other places, it is just given to improve readability.

Identifiers

An identifier is the name of any user-defined element.
