C C++

C is a high-level programming language that is portable, efficient, and allows for memory manipulation. It is commonly used for systems programming due to its high performance and ability to access hardware. Some key advantages are portability, efficiency, and ability to create small and fast programs. Disadvantages include lack of type checking and object-oriented features. C++ builds on C and adds object-oriented programming features like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. It is widely used for games, operating systems, software, and other applications.

What is C?
 C is a high-level structured oriented programming
language, used in general-purpose programming .
 C works with an in-built complier, as it works on
converting C from being a programming language into
a machine readable coded language.
 C is the most preferred language for decades now, due
to its high performance, remarkable efficiency and its
portability.
 C is a successor of 'Basic Combined Programming
Language' (BCPL) called B language.
What are the advantages of C?
 Portable: Its portability allows code to run on different
computers and different operating systems without making any
change.
 Efficient: It is a general-purpose programming language.
Therefore it works efficiently.
 Case-sensitive: You need to be very careful while writing the
code as it treats lowercase and uppercase letter differently.
 Memory Manipulation and allocation: It has the ability to
manipulate arbitrary memory addresses. It also allows
allocating the memory dynamically.
 Middle-level language: It merges the features of
both low level and high-level languages in itself.
What are the disadvantages of C?
 C language is devoid with the terminology and
the concept of OOPS which is a very popular and an
important concept these days among all high-level
programming language.
 No Strict type checking possible.
 No checks for runtime
 It doesn’t give us the provision of having a namespace.
 It also doesn’t have the concept of the constructor as
well as a destructor.
Why should we use C language?
 It makes the code size small.
 It is efficient, portable, structured and well
understood.
 It has only 32 keywords which are easy to remember.
 It is near to Assembly language as code written in C
language runs as fast as code written in assembly
language.
 It has Pointers which connects hardware like as
kernel, drivers to a system, because of this
reason C will always be in use.
What are the characteristics of C?
 Low-level memory access: The lightweight programming
language requires a low level of memory access and hence
is a good fit for system programming.
 Simplified keyword set: Rich and easy to understand and
use a set of simplified keywords that meet
one of the most important characteristics of this language
 The clean style: This language focuses on keeping the
code neat and tidy and hence the code flow is clean.
 Pointer mechanism: The efficient use of pointer and
addressing mechanism in C language makes it a unique
and a different characteristic from all other programming
languages.
 It is a very robust language with a rich set of built-in
operators and functions.
 The programs which are coded in C are fast and more
efficient
 It is a highly portable language. It means that once the
programs which are written in C can easily run on
various other machines with next to no modification.
 It has a very huge collection of the library or built-in
functions. It also provides us the capabilities to custom
or create our own function and include it in the
collection of C library.
 It is a highly extensible language.
What are applications of c?
What are the basic commands of c?
 #include: This is the main header file preprocessor
command which includes standard input and output
header file such as stdio.h from the C library repository
before the program is compiled.

 int main(): This C command, as in most of the


programming languages is the main function which is
generally the starting point of the program execution. All
other methods and functions are called once the primary
main () is executed.
 { : These are the curly braces which are not only C
language specific but are common in any programming
language. This indicates the beginning of a method or a
function definition.

 Printf: This C command is used to print the output to the


console screen.

 Getch(): This command is used to wait for any input from


the user.
 Return 0: This C command is used to terminate the C
program or main function and returns 0.

 } : These curly brackets are used to close the function


or method block.
What is C++?
 C++ is one of the most flexible and efficient general-
purpose programming languages which is a superset
of C programming language where most tools and
libraries supported in C could be used in C++ as well.
 C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to
create high-performance applications.
 C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an
extension to the C language.
 C++ gives programmers a high level of control
over system resources and memory.
What are the characteristics of C++?
 An object is an entity on which we would talk about and
would create programs using it. Any entity in real life such as
table, board, duster, etc., could be an object.
 The second feature is the class which is a group of objects.
Classes consist of all the functions and the variables in a
program.
 Encapsulation internally hides the operation of a function.
For, e.g., when we ride a bike, we press the accelerator but
doesn’t know what’s happening behind the scenes or how the
engine is working. In layman terms, it wraps the data into a
class, and hence only the function is allowed to access the
data.
 Inheritance gives a class the ability to use the features and
properties of its parent class. The inherited class could be
of type Public, Private, and Protected. Also, new features
could be added to the child class as well. The inheritance
could be single level, multi-level, multiple, and even
hierarchical.
 Polymorphism is the property in which one entity could
have multiple forms which allow the object to behave
differently in different situations. It could be static as well
as dynamic.
 At run-time, objects could communicate among each other
by sending data to and fro with the help of message
passing interface.
What are the applications of C++?
 C++ is widely used in the Gaming industry. Various
companies hire people with a knowledge of C++ to build
interactive games for them.
 In software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, C++ is used
as well.
 We can use C++ to create web browsers like Mozilla Firefox
and compilers.
 The operating systems are also programmed in C++.
 The medical industry used C++ to build most of their
software.
 Few of the other programming languages like Java are built
using the C++ language.
What are the advantages of C++?
 C++ is a very efficient language which is fast and
reliable.
 C++ has a wide range of usage and hence learning
the language makes it easier to grasp the Object
Oriented Programming Concept.
 C++ makes it easier to learn other programming
languages as well.
What are the disadvantages of C++?
 C++ could often be hard to master.
 The error messages in C++ could be extended and
often difficult to debug.
 It could be difficult to access the libraries in C++
even.
 The code could be prone to errors as C++ doesn’t
provide type-checking.
What are the components of C++?
 First Component :
The first component in this program is the header file
denoted by #include<iostream> command which contains
the cout command that is being used to print ‘Hello World’
in this case.
 Second Component :
The second component is the ‘int main()’ statement which
is the Master Program Function and is a prerequisite of
every C++ program to have the main function at the
beginning of execution. The opening parenthesis after the
main should have a matching closing parenthesis. The ‘int’
is the return type.
 Third Component :
The third component is the declaration of variables
which in this case are ‘d’ and ‘i’. A variable is assigned
a name with regards to which it stores data in the
memory. It needs to support the C++ inbuilt data
types.
 Fourth Component :
The Program Statement is another component of
C++. In this case, the for loop is used to copy values
from one variable to another. Comments are
also included in the program using the “//”
 Fifth Component :
Operators are another component in C++.
