History Of C++
The C++ is an object oriented programming language. It is an extension of the C programming language, developed by Danish Computer Scientist Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Telephone Laboratories(now know as Nokia Bell Labs) starting in 1979. In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup began the work on "C with classes" the prototype for C++ adding features like classes and inheritance to C. The motivation for creating new language was inspired from Simula that supported classes, objects, inheritance but was slow for system level programming, Stroustrup wanted a language that was combination of both C and Simula. C programing language was chosen because it was general-purpose, fast, portable and widely used. In addition to C and Simula's influences, other language influenced this new language, including ALGOL 68 , Ada ,CLU and ML. Initially, Stroustrup's "C with Classes" added features to the C compiler, Cpre, including classes , derived classes , strong typing ,...
