C++ Standard Papers, latest standard working draft: ISO working draft The C++ 11 / 14 / 17 Standard (INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882:2011/2014/2017) This, of course, is the final arbiter of all that is or isn't C++. Be aware, however, that it is intended purely as a reference ...

It's to do with abstraction, and how close you are to what the computer's actually doing. Here's a list of programming languages ranging from very low to very high level: Machine Code could probably be considered the lowest level programming language. Assembly language is at the level of telling the processor what to do.

Oct 5, 2015 · C++ is a multi- paradigm programming language supporting imperative object-oriented (class-based) generic (template metaprogramming) programming styles. You can choose (and mix them) freely to meet the needs for your project.

Jun 10, 2014 · C++ is what you call a hybrid object oriented language, as it's based on C which is purely a procedural language. Examples of pure object oriented languages are C# and JAVA.

C++ is a difficult language. There are others that are easier to learn. I would never argue about that. But C++ is easily one of the most powerful languages around. It can be highly efficient, and highly elegant, at once. Of course, nothing keeps you from making a fine big mess of everything, either. If I recommend C++ as a first programming ...

Oct 24, 2008 · From stason.org: C++ is the programming language, Visual C++ is Microsoft's implementation of it. When people talk about learning Visual C++, it usually has more to do with learning how to use the programming environment, and how to use the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFCs) for Windows rather than any language issues.

Jan 30, 2013 · I often hear claims that C++ is a context-sensitive language. Take the following example: a b(c); Is this a variable definition or a function declaration? That depends on the meaning of the symbol...

Jun 25, 2009 · The PARLANSE programming language implements the above ideas pretty closely. We goofed in its design, and didn't pay close attention to "void" as a return type and thus have langauge keywords for procedure.

Jan 22, 2009 · While C is a pure procedural language, C++ is a multi-paradigm language. It supports Generic programming: Allowing to write code once, and use it with different data-structures. Meta programming: Allowing to utilize templates to generate efficient code at compile time. Inspection: Allows to inspect certain properties at compile time: What type does an expression have? How many parameters does ...

Mar 17, 2011 · In C++ the :: is called the Scope Resolution Operator. It makes it clear to which namespace or class a symbol belongs.
