who invented C & C++??

During the 60s, while computers were still in an early stage of development, many new programming languages appeared. Among them, ALGOL 60, was developed as an alternative to FORTRAN but taking from it some concepts of structured programming which would later inspire most procedural languages, such as CPL and its succesors (like C++). ALGOL 68 also influenced directly in the development of data types in C. Nevertheless ALGOL was an unspecific language and its abstraction made it little practical to solve most commercial tasks.\n\nIn 1963 the CPL (Combined Programming language) appeared with the idea of being more specific for concrete programming tasks of that time than ALGOL or FORTRAN. Nevertheless this same specificity made it a big language and, therefore, difficult to learn and implement.\n\nIn 1967, Martin Richards developed the BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language), that signified a simplification of CPL but kept the most important features the language offered. Although it continued being an abstract and somewhat large language.\n\nIn 1970, Ken Thompson, immersed in the development of UNIX at Bell Labs, created the B language. It was a port of BCPL for a specific machine and system (DEC PDP-7 and UNIX), and was adapted to his particular taste and necessities. The final result was an even greater simplification of CPL, although dependent on the system. It had great limitations like it did not compile to executable code but threaded-code, which generates slower code in execution, and therefore was inadequate for the development of an operating system. Reason why from 1971, Denis Ritchie, from the Bell Labs team, began the development of a B compiler which, among other things, was able to generate executable code directly. This "New B", finally called C, introduced in addition, some other new concepts to the language like data types (char).\n\nIn 1973, Denis Ritchie, had developed the bases of C. The inclusion of types, its handling, as well as the improvement of arrays and pointers, along with later demonstrated capacity of portability without becoming a high-level language, contributed to the expansion of the C language. It was established with the book "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Denis Ritchie, known as the White Book, and that served as de facto standard until the publication of formal ANSI standard (ANSI X3J11 committee) in 1989.\n\nIn 1980, Bjarne Stroustrup, from Bell labs, began the development of the C++ language, that would receive formally this name at the end of 1983, when its first manual was going to be published. In October 1985, the first commercial release of the language appeared as well as the first edition of the book "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup.\n\nDuring the 80s the C++ language was being refined until it became a language with its own personality. All that with very few losses of compatibility with the code with C, and wothout resigning to its most important characteristics. In fact, the ANSI standard for the C language published in 1989 took good part of the contributions of C++ to structured programming.\n\nFrom 1990 on, ANSI committee X3J16 began the development of a specific standard for C++. In the period elapsed until the publication of the standard in 1998, C++ lived a great expansion in its use and today is the preferred language to develop professional applications on all platforms.

I use "C++ How to Program" by Deitel & Deitel.\nIt's really good

check out http://www.planet-source-code.com - I don't do C++, but I use that site all the time, and it has great examples in source code form.

Of course the main reason is to modify existing code due some change requirements or errors.\n\nBut you can list many secundary reasons:\n\n- Many modern languages are based on C/C++ syntax, so if you learn C++, you are 1 step closer to learn another language.\n- C++ is widely adopted in many enterprises.\n- Due the high performace of C++, it's widely used in videogames, device controlers, interfaces and core components.\n- Could be an adventage if you try to re-write an application from C++ to any other language.\n- Learning C++ gives you the discipline to take care of a lot of things, like pointers.... specially pointers.\n- Due C++ is a lower level language than others, learning C++ gives a wider idea of what most be done to perform a task, that making you to take more care of using some programming technics.\n\nOf course, if you are not interested at all on any of this, is not the end of the world, as you stated, in the modern ages there are many languages that are taking the old C++ appart.

C is still the most used programming language and it will likely stay that way for a very long time. C++ is called C++ because it is supposed to be like the "next generation" of C. It cannot be called B for two primary reasons:\n1. It's not supposed to be an entirely separate language (well, it's supposed to be based loosely on C)\n2. B was a programming language from many years before C++. C got its name as being the logical successor to B (for BCPL).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/C_programming_language

Get an old pc with MS BASIC on it, and then look around for a "Idiot's Guide..." book about BASIC. It's so out dated though... Why not learn C#, C++, J#...?

hey!! looking for ur c++ project.. source code online?? isnt a good idea!\n\nwell thetopic u've selected is idiotic.. \nu better submit an original work.. or else u'll loose marks!\n\nn if programming is ur problem.. n u're lookin for an easy way out.. try looking for tutorial sites for c++.. n search for samples .. but then be assured that ur teacher will come to know aboiut the authenticity just by the format.. \n\nwell if u're smart enough to edit the stuff n then submit it.. only then its of some use.\n\nn by the way.. i've heard of this project .. its common.. i mean even some of my batchmates did this project.. a very ordinary 1... so u may get some help from ur seniors as welll!!

I think u're more familiar with Windows XP operating system, load Turbo C++ IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It's the best-selling C-compiler in world. Or, if u're using Linux, then it contains built-in GCC-compiler.

You don't 'install' C++.\n\nYou only need a text editor to write code.\n\nAre you having trouble with the compiler you want to use?\n\n///

If you already know C++, have a look at the Allegro (2d graphics library) or Ogre3d (3d graphics library) or Irrlitcht (3d graphics library) webs. You should find a lot of information there.

go to a books store and buy ..herbert schildt the complete edition in c++...why? coz its the largest selling ever c++ and it also gives u a preview of c....just find a nice e-book why waste money on books(if you are new to programming)

c++ is a language, if you're wanting to learn the language you can go here http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ but i don't know if you can learn an entire programming language in one day.  if you're asking about an IDE (integrated development environment) which is basically a "place to write the code" and build it you can get a free one here http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

Hey, email me, LBphan@gmail.com, i might be able to help you out a bit, ive got some stuff for c++ and c# if youre curious, and ill give you whatever youre looking for free of charge.  my name is andy, by the way.

Nobody discovered a computer. It was invented. As far as who acctually invented the computer is still being debated to this day.

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html - is a good online resource\n\nhttp://www.developer.be/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/dsp_threads/forumid/16.htm - a forum that has c/c++ developers ready and able to help out.\n\nAlso use the MSDN library to get a lot of information.\n\nI've always liked the "bible books" it covers a lot of great info from begginers to advance: \nISBN: 0764546546 \n\nAlso the complete refference books are garet as well:\nISBN: 0078824761
