BRIEF HISTORY OF C++ LANGUAGE


• C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup while working on his Ph.D. thesis at
Bell Labs in 1979. He wanted to create a dynamic language that would allow
programmers to build complex systems with high-level abstractions while still
providing low-level access to the hardware.
• In 1983, the first version of C++ was released to the public. At this point, Rick
Mascitti also modified the language name from C with classes to C++. It is
interesting to note that the (++) in the name represents the associate operator/
increment operator, which was missing in C.
• In 1985, the first edition of 'The C++ Programming Language' was published, which
became the definitive guide to the language and helped to establish C++ as a
mainstream programming language. Since then, there have been several major
releases and standards of the language.
• In 1998, C++98, the first international standardized version of C++, was
released. It included additional libraries and various new features such as
templates, exceptions, and namespaces.
• Each one of these future versions of the language improved upon existing features.
There have also been several ISO standards for C++, including ISO/IEC 14882:1998
(C++98),
Philippine ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (C++11), ISO/IEC 14882:2014 (C++14), and ISO/IEC
Christian
14882:2017 (C++17), with the latest being ISO/IEC 14882:2020 (C++20).

IMPORTANCE OF C++ LANGUAGE


• C++ is one of the most popular and important programming languages in
the world, with a wide range of applications in many different industries.

• It is widely used for systems programming, gaming, finance, scientific


computing, and robotics, among other areas. It’s especially useful in
building complex software systems, where performance, efficiency, and
reliability are crucial.

• One of its most valuable features is its ability to provide low-level access
to hardware resources. This makes it an ideal language for developing
system-level software, such as device drivers, operating systems, and
embedded systems.

• It’s also a highly popular choice for scientific computing and is used to
build high-performance numerical libraries and simulation tools.

COMPARISON OF C++ WITH OTHER LANGUAGES


JAVA & C++
• C++ is a statically typed language which means that the data types of
variables are declared at compile time. In comparison, Java is a dynamically
typed language which means that the data types of variables are declared at
runtime.

• C++ is generally faster than Java but it’s less portable compared to Java.
Java also has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks.

PYTHON & C++


• Python has a simpler syntax than C++, which makes it easier to understand
and use. C++ has a complex syntax and is considered one of the toughest
languages to learn.

• Also, C++ is statically typed, while Python is a dynamically typed language.

• Python is highly portable and can run on any platform that has a python
interpreter.
Philippine In comparison, C++ has to be compiled separately for each

platform.

THE HEADERS & LIBRARIES
#include <iostream>
• Standard Input-Output Stream – declares objects that control reading from and writing
to the standard streams.
#include <stdlib.h>
• The Standard Library Utilities – declares various utility functions for type conversions,
memory allocation, algorithms, and similar use cases. It also has multiple data types and
macros defined in the header.
#include <string>
• String Header File – used to declare strings and other variables.
#include <ctype.h>
• CType Header – declares a set of functions to classify (and transform) individual
characters. For example, isupper() checks whether a character is uppercase or not.
#include <cstring>
• CString Header – part of the standard C++ library collection that provides the commonly
used methods for C-Style string manipulation.
#include <unistd.h> – defines miscellaneous symbolic constants and types, and declares
miscellaneous functions.
#include <iomanip> – The manipulator returns an object that, when inserted into the stream
