Overview

C++ is a programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup. It added concepts from Object oriented programming to C. However, since the release of the C99 standard, C++ is no longer a strict superset of C. The language facilitates generic programming (also known as parameterization of types) through the use of templates (known in some languages as generics).

For other uses, see C (disambiguation).
