Introduction to C++ : Introduction to C++ Readings: 1.1-1.3, 1.9-1.13, 1.16-1.18, 1.21-1.22 C++ Bjarne Stroustrup (Bell Labs, 1979) started as extension to C (macros and variables) added new useful, features nowadays a language of its own C++ (the next thing after C, though wouldn’t ++C be more appropriate?)

Introduction to C++
C++ (pronounced "cee plus plus") is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It was developed by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language. Originally named C with Classes, the language was later renamed C++ in 1983.
 
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages with application domains including systems software,application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games. Several groups provide both free and proprietary C++ compiler software. C++ has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C# and Java. C++ is also used for hardware design. The language began as enhancements to C, first adding classes, then virtual functions, operator overloading, multiple inheritance, templates, and exception handling among other features.

HI,

C++ is a programming language--it will allow you to control your computer, making it do what you want it to do.
A C++ program is a collection of commands, which tell the computer to do "something". This collection of commands is usually called C++ source code, source code or just code. Commands are either "functions" or "keywords". Keywords are a basic building block of the language, while functions are, in fact, usually written in terms of simpler functions--you'll see this in our very first program, below. (Confused? Think of it a bit like an outline for a book; the outline might show every chapter in the book; each chapter might have its own outline, composed of sections. Each section might have its own outline, or it might have all of the details written up.) Thankfully, C++ provides a great many common functions and keywords that you can use

 
This means you want to move into Object Oriented World,

C++ was designed for the UNIX system environment. With C++ programmers could improve the quality of code they produced and reusable code was easier to write
