Difference Between C And C++
C and C++ are the two very popular programming languages. And many software is developed in C/ C++. Furthermore, the compiler for both languages come together. However, there are some differences between these two languages. Such as their approach to design programs, program organizations technique and data types. Moreover, in this post I have highlighted some differences.
| C | C++ |
|---|---|
| C is a procedure-oriented language. | C++ is an object-oriented language. |
| C uses a top-down approach i.e. it divides main() program into functions and solves problems. | C++ uses a bottom-up approach i.e. it combines small classes into the main class to solve problems. |
| A subset of C++. | Superset of C. |
| Appropriate for algorithmic oriented software development. | Appropriate for real word problems. |
| It supports typed variables and functions. | It supports generic type data types, functions, and classes. |
