An introduction of Programming with C++

Introduction

It's amazing experiences to write program in c++ after programming in C. C++ is successor of C but initially it was not referred as C++ as we know today. C++ (Pronounced as See Plus Plus) was developed in the same place where one of the best ever programming language C was developed, That place is AT & T Bell Lab, USA around 1983. 

Bjarne Stroustrup, you hear this name before. No! Don't worry i am explaining about them. Actually he is the person who is responsible to developed the C++ programming language, which is second best language after C. This name is important in programming and software industry but seems complex to pronounce it, I have also problem pronounce the name and this problem can be solved by just read following. You have to read this-

                   Bee-yarn-eh Strow-strup

History

I think you can pronounce correctly. Lets know history of C++. Ones upon a time there was a computer, Which was too bulky and costly. To made it functioned perfectly a medium is required called Computer and Programming Language. Initially around 1940s we had Machine language and after then Assembly language was developed around 1950s. These were two complex to code the program. Then Programmer think about some easiest way to write program for computer hence High Level Language was introduced.

"To complete the difficult task, I hire the Lazy people because they always want to find the easiest  way to complete the task"                  -Bill Gates

One of the oldest high level programming Language was widely used at the time of 1960s was ALGOL (Algorithm Language), which was developed in Cambridge University. It was first structural Programming Language . Then, CPL (Combined Programming Language) in Cambridge University. But these can not the last and most popular. 1970-80s was the best era where many important programming languages were developed. In Bell Lab, Some extra research was continuing to made our computer system more efficient and reliable. And as a result Martin Richards developed the Language influenced by CPL called BCPL(Basic Combined Programming Language). BCPL is intend to write portable software and compiler. But not widely used. After then Language B was developed by Ken thompson with the help of Dennis ritchie. All this development was continued just for made our computer more reliable and efficient.


Next major development of this sequence is Programming language C which is milestone in programming field. C was developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969-1973. It is developed to write the one of the best Operating System UNIX. Initially C was developed on UNIX and next Whole UNIX was developed in C. C is very popular in programming and software industry but have some drawback and lack of functionality that was solved by Bjarne Stroustrup and developed and new Programming language C++ in 1973. Initially Stroustrup called it "C with class". C++ was suggested by Rick Mascitti and first used in 1983. ++ (plus plus) is taken from increment operator of C.

"Language shapes the way we think. and determines what we can think about."                                                                                     -B.L.Whorf
