Bjarne Stroustrup (/ ˈ b j ɑːr n ə ˈ s t r ɒ v s t r ʊ p /; Danish: [ˈbjɑːnə ˈstʁʌwˀstʁɔp]; [3] [4] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, known for the development of the C++ programming language. [5]
The first edition of The C++ Programming Language was published in 1985. As C++ evolved, a second edition was published in July 1991, reflecting the changes made. The third edition of the book was first published on 30 June 1997; a hardcover version of the third edition, with two new appendices, was later published as The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition on 11 February 2000.
Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, in his AT&T New Jersey office, c. 2000. In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, began work on "C with Classes", the predecessor to C++. [28] The motivation for creating a new language originated from Stroustrup's experience in programming for his PhD thesis.
Cfront was the original compiler for C++ (then known as "C with Classes") from around 1983, which converted C++ to C; developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Labs. The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations.
For example, the anglicized name "Charles Simonyi" in Hungarian was originally "Simonyi Károly". In the same way, the type name precedes the "given name" in Hungarian notation. The similar Smalltalk "type last" naming style (e.g. aPoint and lastPoint) was common at Xerox PARC during Simonyi's tenure there. [citation needed]
RAII is associated most prominently with C++, where it originated, but also Ada, [3] Vala, [4] and Rust. [5] The technique was developed for exception-safe resource management in C++ [6] during 1984–1989, primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup and Andrew Koenig, [7] and the term itself was coined by Stroustrup.

C++: 1979: Bjarne Stroustrup : Named as "C with Classes" and renamed C++ in 1983; it began as a reimplementation of static object orientation in the tradition of Simula 67, and through standardization and wide use has grown to encompass generic programming as well as its original object-oriented roots. [6] [2] C--1997
Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, wrote the first version of the stream I/O library in 1984, as a type-safe and extensible alternative to C's I/O library. [5] The library has undergone a number of enhancements since this early version, including the introduction of manipulators to control formatting, and templatization to allow its use with character types other than char.
