C++ is a versatile programming language
that can be used to design a wide range of
software applications Definition of C++ as a general-purpose, high-level, compiler-based, and object- oriented programming language It is classified as a general-purpose language, meaning it can be used for various purposes, unlike specialized languages
Operating systems (e.g., DOS, Windows,
Unix) C++ as a General-Purpose Language Editors (e.g., Notepad, WordPad, MS Word)
Commercial applications (e.g., bank
programs, supermarket programs, hotel programs)
Database applications (e.g., Oracle, SQL
Server, MySQL) Examples of software that can be developed using C++ Translators (e.g., compilers, interpreters, assemblers)
Device drivers (e.g., printer, keyboard,
mouse)
PC and mobile games (e.g., Snake, Super
Mario, Contra)
Protocols (e.g., HTTP, FTP, telecom
protocols)
Software is a collection of programs, which
are sets of instructions
Understanding the concept of software, Software can be categorized into system
programs, and programming languages software and application software
Introduction to C++: System software, such as operating
A Versatile C++ as a High-Level systems, provides the foundation for application software to run Programming Programming Language Language High-level languages, like C++, are closer to human-readable language and easier to understand
Characteristics of high-level programming They are abstracted from the underlying
languages machine-level instructions (binary code)
High-level languages require a translator
(e.g., compiler, interpreter) to convert them into machine-readable code
Protocols define the rules and standards
for communication between different systems or components Importance of protocols in software development Protocols are essential for the proper functioning of various software applications and systems Advantages of C++ for Designing Protocols C++ is particularly well-suited for designing protocols due to its low-level control and efficiency
Approximately 90% of telecom protocols
C++'s suitability for designing protocols are designed using C++
Examples of protocols designed with C++
include HTTP, FTP, and various other network and communication protocols
