Introduction to C++

 let us talk about the C++ programming language C++ was first released in 1985. if you compare C++ with other programming languages other popular programming languages like java and python C++ was released much early it's a much older language than java and python, for example, java was released in 1995, 10 years later than C++, and C++  is still one of the most used programming languages not used as much as java and python, java is used much more in industry and python has also used much more industry but C++ is still useful and if you talk about competitive programming it is still the most used programming language among the competent programmers and also used in software development the reasons for its applications or for its uses in software development are it allows low-level programming or system-level programming and its speed of execution or you can say the requirement of fewer resources.



C++ was mainly released as an extension of the c programming language and c programming language is one of the oldest high-level programming languages the main thing about c programming languages is it allows you to do hardware access,


for example, it has pointers it has functions to directly access the hardware, and C++ since it's a kind of superset of the scene has all those functionalities with it you have pointers you have direct memory access functions so C++ is a programming language that allows you to see the style of programming where you can access hardware you can access memory using pointers also allows you to do a high level of programming or design software because it supports object-oriented programming as well not only object-oriented programming many other things were added in C++ which was not there in c programming language and that's why C++ became really popular for software development as well the features,


 for example, in generic the programming you can design one code and you can use it for multiple types  C++ has a feature called templates that allow you to generate programming generics is also there in java but being is an old programming language C++ also has its generic programming is one thing exception handling C++ has to support for exception handling which was not there in the c programming language C++ also has a more prosperous library than C,


for example, the standard template library or STL library which implements all the standard data structures and algorithms it was there it was added in C++, but it was not there in the C programming language not only STL many other libraries are present in C++ for game development and many other things let us now talk about some real-world applications of C++ it is said that the browsers like chrome and Firefox they are written in C++ apart from these most the operating systems compilers device drivers they are either written in c which is a subset of C++ programming language or written in C++ finally if we want to compare C++ with java and python java and python are obviously used a lot more compared to C++,


for example, if you're writing a device driver or writing some network hardware applications or you're working in an environment like an embedded system where you have less memory or less processing power then C++ would definitely be preferred over languages like java and python
