Introduction Of C++

Introduction to C++

• C++ is an extension language from C language.
• C++ was developed by BjarneStroustrup at Bell Laboratories.
• Bjarne Stroustrup initially called the new languages "C with classes".
• In 1983, the name was changed to C++.
• C++ is an intermediate level language and it can support both high level and low level features.
• C++ is an Object Oriented Programming Language, but it is not pure.

Benefits of C++ over C language

• C++ is an object oriented programming language and C is a procedural language.
• Stronger type checking compared to C.
• In C, there is no exception handling, but C++ can support this.
• Instead of macros in C language, C++ can support an inline function

Why should we have to study C++?

• Basically, we all know, that the first programming language is C. Afterwards, C++ is an extension of C.

• The invention of C++ was associated by one major programming factor and increasing complexity. Because the Application of program (or) the number of lines in the source code increases, it is very complex.
• To solve these problems, we can get into C++.   
  
  
• It is easily understood.
• C++ is efficient    

What is meant by Compilers, Archiver, Linker, Toolset, IDE

• Compiler
  Compiler takes C++ source file as an input and produces the object files.     
  
  
• Archiver
  Archiver takes a collection of the object files as an input and produces a static library or archive, which is simply grouped into a collection of the object files, grouped for convenient use. 
  
  
• Linker
  Linker takes a collection of the object files, libraries and resolves their symbolic references to produce an executable.  
  
  
• Toolset

• The computer can only understand the machine language code. 
• The three basic tools, used to build C++ Application are the compiler, the linker and the archiver.
• Collection of these programs is called Toolset. 
  
  
• IDE
  Integrated development environment provides a graphical interface for organizing a collection of the source files and describe the binary files, which should be related to them.

IDE for C++

• Visual C++
• Code warrior
• C++ Builder
• Dev C++
• Code Block 

For example installation of dev C++

• Open the file.
• When the file is done downloading,locate the downloaded file and open the executable file.
• Install Dev /C++. Afterwards, you open the executable file, you will be ran through an installation setup.
