Introduction to C++

Introduction to C++

C++ is an object-oriented programming language. It is an extension to C programming.

Our C++ tutorial includes all topics of C++ such as first example, control statements, objects and classes, inheritance, constructor, destructor, this, static, polymorphism, abstraction, abstract class, interface, namespace, encapsulation, arrays, strings, exception handling, File IO, etc.

C++ is a general purpose, case-sensitive, free-form programming language that supports object-oriented, procedural and generic programming.

C++ is a middle-level language, as it encapsulates both high and low level language features.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs)

C++ supports the object-oriented programming, the four major pillar of object-oriented programming (OOPs) used in C++ are:

1. Inheritance
2. Polymorphism
3. Encapsulation
4. Abstraction

C++ Standard Libraries

Standard C++ programming is divided into three important parts:

• The core library includes the data types, variables and literals, etc.
• The standard library includes the set of functions manipulating strings, files, etc.
• The Standard Template Library (STL) includes the set of methods manipulating a data structure.

Usage of C++

By the help of C++ programming language, we can develop different types of secured and robust applications:

• Window application
• Client-Server application
• Device drivers
• Embedded firmware etc

C++ Program

In this tutorial, all C++ programs are given with C++ compiler so that you can easily change the C++ program code.

File: main.cpp

1. #include <iostream>  
2. using namespace std;  
3. int main() {  
4.    cout << "Hello C++ Programming";  
5.    return 0;  
6. }
