Abstract - C++ is a statically typed, compiled, general-

purpose, case-sensitive, free-form programming language
that supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic
programming. C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as
it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level
language features. C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
starting in 1979 at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, as an
enhancement to the C language and originally named C with
Classes but later it was renamed C++ in 1983.C++ is a superset
of C, and that virtually any legal C program is a legal C++
program. Note − A programming language is said to use static
typing when type checking is performed during compile-time
as opposed to run-time.

I. Introduction

What is meant by C++ programming?

C++ (pronounced "see plus plus") is a computer programming

language based on C. It was created for writing programs for
many different purposes. In the 1990s, C++ became one of
the most used programming languages in the world. The C++
programming language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
at Bell Labs in the 1980s, and was originally named "C with
classes". The language was planned as an improvement on
the C programming language, adding features based on
object-oriented programming. Step by step, a lot of advanced
features were added to the language, like operator
overloading, exception handling and templates.

Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ at Bell Labs in the early

1980s to merge the best advantages of several other
languages. He wanted to put together the quickness of BCPL,
the high-level of Simula, and the universality of Dennis
Ritchie’s C. He took inspiration from other languages as well,
such as Ada, ML, and ALGOL 68, to create a well-structured,
general-purpose language that could compile nearly all C
programs without changing their source code. C++ is so
flexible that is often nicknamed the "Swiss Pocket Knife of
Programming Languages" (although this nickname is shared
by Python as well).

When C++ was new, object-oriented programming was just

coming on the scene. This revolutionary type of computer
programming transformed the coding world with its promise
of more sophisticated virtual data types and objects. In
object-oriented programming; an object is a data type that
has both data and functions inherent in its design. Prior to the
advent of object-oriented programming, programmers
typically saw a code base as composed of individual
command line instructions. The identification of objects with
data and functions built in led to a new way of packaging and
automating code work.

For an excellent example of object-oriented programming in

C++, one of the most notable and useful features of the
language was the C++ stack. The C++ stack is a class in C++
that has the following characteristics – it is a virtual last in
first out sequential storage container that has a defined set of
elements. The functions ‘push’ and ‘pop’ either push a new
item into the bottom of the stack or pop the first available
item from the top of the stack. Programmers have utilized the
C++ stack in many different ways to achieve goals involving
variable evaluation and functional operations within a code
base. The language also applies principles of encapsulation,
which identifies usage models, and inheritance, where one
class can inherit certain attributes or properties from
another.

Advantages of C++

1. Portability

C++ offers the feature of portability or platform

independence which allows the user to run the same
program on different operating systems or interfaces at ease.
