How C++ emerged from C language
The C language
The C programming language was created by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. The C is procedural programming language. This indicates that this programming language gives higher priority to procedure than data. C provided a significant increase in programmer productivity for system and scientific programming as well as for high-speed computing, it offered a higher level of abstraction than assembly language.#
How C++ emerged from C language
Stroustrup created C++ as an extension of the C language at Bell Labs beginning in 1979. He wanted a language that was just as effective and adaptable as C while also offering high-level features for program organization. He wanted to expand the 'C' language by adding elements from the OOP language he created, because he felt that it was lacking in several areas. "C with classes" was renamed to "C++" in 1984. C++ was an extension of C , making it a superset of C. The C language only gains new capabilities from C++.
The C++
The C++ programming language is based on the concept of Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs). The features of Object-Based programming resides under the Object-Oriented Programming . It combines all the attributes of object-based programming and overcomes its constraints through the use of inheritance, allowing you to use programming to solve problems based on real-world scenarios. Object-oriented programming was developed to address the shortcomings of conventional programming methods. The OOPs approach was created based on a few ideas that help it accomplish its goal of outperforming the shortcomings or shortcomings of conventional programming methodologies.
Some pros and cons of both the languages
Two of the oldest still in use computer languages are C and C++. Despite being a descendant of C, C++ is recognized to be more efficient and provide cutting-edge tools. Of course, each language has benefits and drawbacks that set it apart from the other. Because polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance are not supported in C, C does not support object-oriented programming. Hence it is procedural programming language. Since C++ is an object oriented programming language, it provides polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance. In comparison to the C language, the speed of C++ is faster since it enables object-orientation. However, as an extension language for other high-level programming languages, C enjoys greater community support (Perl, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Common Lisp etc.). It has been shown that C is the finest language for kernel programming and is preferred for open source. It allows you to have more control over what happens when your code is executed. When someone needs to work very closely with hardware devices, device driver program are only developed in C. C is still used extensively in the development of popular operating systems like Windows, UNIX, and Linux.
There is no requirement that you learn C before C++. They are different languages. It's a popular fallacy that C++ isn't a completely stated language and is anyway dependent on C. It's not necessary to learn C first just because C++ and C share a lot of the same syntax and semantics. "C with classes" was renamed to "C++". C++ was an extension of C, making it a superset of C. C++ just provides additional capabilities to the C language.
