Brief about C++

C++ is an object-oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA, in the early 1980s. Stroustrup wanted to create a powerful language that could support object-oriented programming features and still retain the power and elegance of C; the result was C++.

C++ is suitable for virtually any programming task including development of editors, compilers, databases, communication systems, and any other real-life application systems.

Merits 

1. Using C++, we can build special object-orientend libraries that can be used later by many programmers.
2. While C++ helps in mapping real-world problems, the C part of the C++ gives the language the ability to deal with machine-level details.
3. C++ programs are very easy to maintain and expand.
