Diffrence between the Language.

[Tom Mat]

Hi there !! Ok ! now this may sound little wild but what is the exact tecnical diffrence betwwen the language C and C++. :sigh:

C is a quite old language, and don't know at all about all the OOP stuff... C++ is OOP however, but as it was build/based upon the C language, it kept much of the functionnalities... so, many beginner confuse both languages.

I think the big difference reside in how you use the language also. You can use C++ language and still write C code, using the C++ standard doesn't mean that you write C++ code. The way to view C programs is more procedural, which means that you have a sequence of instructions to execute (that can be in separate functions). C++ is more object oriented (if you start with that idea in mind of course, otherwise you can still write procedural programs): it is more an interaction between objects, how they are used and how they interact with each other.

keep in mind: C is a procedural language. C++ serves the OO design Ask not what your application can do for you, Ask what you can do for your application
