Is it true, that C++ is a top programmer language?
479882
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

No. C and C++ are two different languages with different compilers.\nHowever, C is (almost) a subset of C++ and therefore a C++ compiler might be used to compile C++.

(m)\n\nC++ is often described as a superset of C because C++ has many of the features of C, plus some additional features. There are, however, some differences between the two languages aside from the additional features of C++. This section briefly describes the following:\n\nCompatibility with C\n\nReliability Improvements\n\nOther Extensions to C\n\nChanging Your C Programs to C++\n\nC++ also differs from C in its support of object-oriented programming. Refer to "Support for Object-Oriented Programming" for a discussion of C++ as an object-oriented programming language. For more details about the C++ language, refer to the The C++ Programming Language.\n\nCompatibility with C \n \n\nRetaining compatibility with C served as a major design criterion for C++. The basic syntax and semantics of the two languages are the same. If you are familiar with C, you can program in C++ immediately.\n\nFor instance, C++ preserves C's efficient interface to computer hardware. That is, C++ has the same types, operators, and other facilities defined in C that usually correspond directly to computer architecture. You can use these facilities to write code that makes optimal use of the hardware at run time (for example, code that manipulates bits and uses register variables).\n\nC++ also preserves and enhances the C facilities for designing interfaces among program modules. These facilities are extremely useful when you develop any size application, but particularly a large or complex one.\n\nFinally, C++ modules can usually be linked with already existing C modules with few if any modifications to the C files. This means that you can probably use many C libraries with your C++ programs.\n\nRefer to "Changing Your C Programs to C++," in this chapter, for a description of specific things you might want to change in order to convert existing C programs to C++ programs. Refer to Chapter 5 “Inter-Language Communication”, "Inter-Language Communication," for details about linking C programs with C++ programs.\n\n\nfor more details goto the below website

If you know C++, you can learn everything easily - PHP, Java, .NET...\n\nI personally find Java a little bloated and too complex.\n\nDon't get caught in .NET.

Isn't C really old?  What about C++?

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///

Wow. C++ is the hardest of all the .NET languages, because it can do more. I'd talk whoever this is into letting you do it in C#, which you can learn more quickly.\n\nPart of the problem is that C++ is also built for unmanaged code, has more ability to work with it than other .NET languages - and is primarily used for unmanaged code. Most Windows C++ tutorials will teach you how to do classic C++ with ATL or MFC... and then you'd have to learn to use the Framework, which is totally different. \n\nSybex's Visual C++.NET book is pretty good... but you'd be expected to have a grounding in C++ already:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861005962?v=glance\n\nI suppose you could quickly up yourself on C++ For Dummies.... and then move up to Sybex's Visual C++.NET

First one is that the Language is Object Oriented or not .\nThe Object oriented programming languages (e.g. C++ , JAVA , .NET Languages ) are more powerful than the other programming languages and It's easy to code at the same time.\nThe second one I guess that is that language is Platform\nindependent or not . If it is platform independent then you\ncan make a choice on Operating Systems .

You must have a good knowledge of C++, Visual C++ etc.

C++ is a popular language used to do alot of difficult stuff. You can use it to program for different operating systems.\n\nJava is more of an open language, which will allow you to program for different platformas but more for a web based enviroment. few desktop applications are written with Java.\n\nVisual basic is also a great langauge. It's not as powerful as c++, but it's easy to build application with. It is used for rapid application development. Visual basics IDE's were written using c++ as well as the core of the windows operating system. Some of the smaller programs in windows are written in Visual basic (VB). dont waste your time with VB unless you are a beginner it spoils you rotten its so basic. Start with VB.Net. programs written with visual basic only work on windows. \n\nif by basic you mean Basic and not visual basic, then all i can say is: Basic is basic , i don't know of anyone using basic. I think basic was succeeded by other better languages like C. basic stands for something but i can't remember . \n\nPascal, I think is like C but I am not familiar with it. I think it was succeeded by Delphi.\n\nAnd yes unix is a very powerful operating system used on some servers.

well truthfully it all boils down to assembler all computers use it. However most modern operating system are designed with C++ so it is a pretty strong language to learn. During my schooling I used a lot of MIPS which is a version of assembler and also lots of C++. Today in the Cooperate world I use mainly C++. Sometimes C# or variations of java. But I do recommend concentrating on C++.

C++ was built off of C.  Which is simpler is an ambigious question in that you would have to define "simpler."  Personally I prefer to work in C++ because of the functionalities provided by STL, however I can do everything in C, it is just more work.  For learning purposes C++ is a better place to start as it has built in memory managment so that you dont accidentaly overwrite something vital.  As for your second question C++ can not be compiled with a C compiler.  Thus the reason we have separate compilers.  Most things you do in C can be directly done in C++ however this is not true in the other direction.  I hope this helps.  If you decide to learn in C get a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan (the creator of C), I use this book alot even for C++.  If you decide to go with C++ get "The C++ Standard Library" by Josuttis (the creator of STL).  Either way you made the right choice by avoiding Java.

Trick question - C _is_ the most popular programming language.\nWell to be honest, Java and VB are probably more popular in general (i.e. including home user hobbyists), but in the industry you'll find that C/C++ are more widely used.\n\nRawlyn.
