History of Programming C++

Programming Languages C and C + +
C programming language is the language of the predecessor of C + + programming language. Creator of the C programming language is Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie at around 1972. C is structured programming language that divides the program in the form of a number of blocks. The aim is to facilitate the creation and development program. C + + programming language was created a decade after C by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983. At first the language C + + called "a better C". The name C + + is then given by Rick Mascitti in the summer of 1983. As for the + + in C + + comes from the name of the service enhancement in the C language Privileges that are very meaningful in C + + is because C + + language supports Object Oriented Programming (PBO) or Object Oriented Programming (OOP).
C + + Program Editor
Program C + + can be written using any text editor, like EDIT (owned by DOS), WordStar or congenital editor of the compiler. Examples of programs C + +:

Program C + + is usually written with the extension name. CPP (from the C plus plus). For this program can be run (executed), the program must be compiled in advance using C + + compiler.At the time of compilation, program source (. CPP) with header files (extension. H or. HPP) will be translated by a compiler C + + into object code (. OBJ). These object files include files in binary format (coded 0 and 1).

Furthermore, these object files together with other object files and library files (. LIB) linked together by a linker. The result is a file that is executable. This file can be run directly from the operating system directly.
C + + compiler
Today many C + + compilers on the market. For example, Microsoft Corporation, a software maker that is very popular, Microsoft issued a C + + compiler products in the form of Microsoft C / C + + and Visual C + +. The Borland International, which is very famous with its Turbo Pascal, Turbo C + + release and Borland C.
