C++ (/ ˈ s iː p l ʌ s p l ʌ s /, pronounced "C plus plus" and sometimes abbreviated as CPP) is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup.
C++ 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. [1] It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language.
Although one of the design goals was to prefer changes to the libraries over changes to the core language, [3] C++11 does make several additions to the core language. Areas of the core language that were significantly improved include multithreading support, generic programming support, uniform initialization, and performance.
C++23, formally ISO/IEC 14882:2024 [1], is the current open standard for the C++ programming language that follows C++20.The final draft of this version is N4950. [2] [3]In February 2020, at the final meeting for C++20 in Prague, an overall plan for C++23 was adopted: [4] [5] planned features for C++23 were library support for coroutines, a modular standard library, executors, and networking.
The Computer Language Benchmarks Game site warns against over-generalizing from benchmark data, but contains a large number of micro-benchmarks of reader-contributed code snippets, with an interface that generates various charts and tables comparing specific programming languages and types of tests.
Reflective programming languages let programs examine and possibly modify their high-level structure at runtime or compile-time. This is most common in high-level virtual machine programming languages like Smalltalk, and less common in lower-level programming languages like C. Languages and platforms supporting reflection:
The differences between the programming languages C++ and Java can be traced to their heritage, as they have different design goals. C++ was designed for systems and applications programming (i.e., infrastructure programming), extending the procedural programming language C, which was designed for efficient
C++20 is a version of the ISO/IEC 14882 standard for the C++ programming language. C++20 replaced the prior version of the C++ standard, called C++17 , and was later replaced by C++23 . [ 1 ] The standard was technically finalized [ 2 ] by WG21 at the meeting in Prague in February 2020, [ 3 ] had its final draft version announced in March 2020 ...
