History of C++

History of C++

  • Built of C
  • Added object oriented programming C
  • Other library functions also added

 

Origins of C

  • Considered the beginning of the modern age of programming
  • Serves as a model for all new languages
  • Invented by Dennis Ritchie
  • Built off "B" which was built of "BCPL"
  • It was the first language actually built by programmers for programmers
    • Previous languages were designed by academics or people in large institutions
    • C++ was more thought out and streamlined

 

Advantages of C

  • Structured programming
    • Designed to avoid " spaghetti code"
  • Streamlined and powerful

 

Origins of C++

  • Programmers were building more complex programs, so they needed better ways to organize and handle data.
  • Programmers wanted the power of OOP (Object Oriented Programming) in C.
  • C++ was created by Bjarne Strostrup in 1979

 

Evolution of C++

  • Three revisions of the language, each trying to achieve standardization.
  • Addition of the "Standard Template Library", a huge collection of functions, compliated standardization.

 

Java and C#

  • Java created by Sun
  • C# created by microsoft
  • Both built off of C++
  • Main difference between the three is the way they compile code
    • C++ creates highly efficent machine code for only one architecture and OS
    • Java and C# can create intermideate code which can be run on most OS's and architectures.
