C++ is an object-oriented programming language. C++ maintains almost all aspects of the C language, while simplifying memory management and adding several features - including a new datatype known as a class - to allow object-oriented programming. C++ maintains the features of C which allowed for low-level memory access but also gives the programmer new tools which simplify memory management.
C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be used to create small programs or large applications.
