Today we were
surrounded by a multiple of electronic devices like computer, laptops,
palmtops, mobile phones, tablets, PDA etc., any sort of hardware’s which needs
programmable memory to operate, which needs to be programmed to instruct them
what to do? Then one picture came in our mind that those devices which needs to
be programmed, not just a program, a bundle and the bundle of programs. Those
programs must be written in some sort of programming languages.
The one programming
languages was most common in these are C and C++. This is the language which
was developed by Bjarne Stroutstrup started in 1979 at Bell Laboratories. At
the very early stage of the program development, it was developed as naming C.
After a few modifications and adding the concept Object Oriented theory was
introduced and named as “C with Classes” because certain features like classes,
inheritance was introduced in this language. In 1983, it was renamed as C++.
As, we know that electronics
devices like computers, laptops, cell-phones, etc. are not just limited up to
the extent of programmed used to instruct, but far more from that. As the
development of Operating System like windows and Linux which was built in C and
C++, opens the door of opportunity to create a multiple of software’s for
different purposes to use in Operating System. C++ is implemented on a wide
variety of hardware and operating system platforms, including system software,
application software, device drivers, embedded software, High-performance
server and Client applications, and also by means of entertainment such as
Video Games, graphics in designing.
The language began as
enhancements to C, first adding classes, and then virtual functions, operator
overloading, multiple inheritance, templates and exception handling, among
other features. Now if we see a media player was built in C and C++, if we talk
about the servers, it was also built on this language.
Even if you have to
understand any other programming language then the bases of all programming
language is C and C++. Like Java, Perl, python and many more are the
programming languages which was built on C and C++. And even if it was not then
for the basic understanding of any other languages the one has to first
understand the programming in C and C++. This is why it is called the father
all languages, from which we get the various applications and Operating
System.
