Introduction to C++ Programming

Duration: 5 minutes

Welcome to the exciting world of C++ programming! In this guide, we’ll embark on a journey to explore the fundamentals of C++, its rich history, and its integral role in the software industry, and we’ll cap it off with a hands-on exercise—writing and running a classic ‘Hello, World!’ program.

Overview of

C++ C++ is a versatile, high-performance programming language that evolved from the C programming language. C++ was created in the early 1980s at Bell Labs by Bjarne Stroustrup to add object-oriented programming features to C while maintaining its efficiency and flexibility. This combination makes C++ suitable for a wide range of applications, from system-level programming to game development. It is a versatile programming language widely employed in the software industry for its support of procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. Known for its prowess in handling performance-critical tasks, it is a top choice for building operating systems, device drivers, video games, and embedded systems, playing a crucial role in powering technology across various domains.
