Now a day there are many popular computers programming languages like – Assembly, C, C++, Java, Android, Ruby, Python etc.

C and C++ programming differences

C programming language

C is a middle level computer programming language developed at Bell Lab at 1972 by Dennis Ritchie, C is considered as Middle Level Language because of its features. C language contains features of Low Level Language as well as High Level Language.

C++ programming language

C++ computer programming language was developed by Bjarne Strostroup in 1980. C++ is the super set of containing features of C programming language and Simula67. C++ introduced the concept of Class and Objects.

Difference between C and C++

C Programming Language C++ Programming Language
C language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie. C++ language was developed in 1980 by Bjarne Strostroup.
C is a Procedural Oriented Programming language. C++ is an Object Oriented Programming language.
C has Top Down programming approach. C++ has Bottom Up programming approach.
The extension of a c program is is .c The extension of a c++ program is .cpp
In c programming language, a big problem divides into small pieces known as functions; this approach of programming is known as Modular programming. In c++ programming language, a big problem divides into Classes and Objects.
Structure in C does not have function declaration features i.e. we cannot declare a function as member function of structure in C. Structure in C++ provide the feature of declare a function as member function of structure.
