What is the difference between C and C++?

[chinmay.sahoo]

* C++ is object oriented programming whereas C is structured programming
language.
* C++ uses bottom up approach whereas C uses top down approach.
* In C++ data’s are secured, in C data’s are not secured.
* C doesn’t support namespace.

The main difference is the object-oriented programming paradigm. C has structs to group related data together, but C++ also has classes that group data and code together. There is also other useful things like inheritance and Polymorphism. Giumo X. Clanjor, used to be a C expert.

C++ is object oriented language but C is structured language

The difference between C and C++:

•C++ is derived from C Language. It is a Superset of C.
•C++ is an OOPS based means (Predefined class and method for inheriting Class objects
into other classes. ) as in C has not an OOPS features, is a procedural languages.
•Most C Programs can be compiled in C++ compiler.
•C++ expressions are the same as C expressions.
•All C operators are valid in C++.

1. C follows the procedural programming paradigm while C++ is a multi-paradigm language(procedural as well as object oriented)
2.This difference is due to specific OOP features like Data Hiding which are not present in C.
3.3. C is a low-level language while C++ is a middle-level language (Relatively, Please see the discussion at the end of the post)

C++ was based on C and retains a great deal of the functionality. C++ does not retain complete source-level compatibility with C.

1. In case of C, the data is not secured while the data is secured(hidden) in C++.

2. C uses the top-down approach while C++ uses the bottom-up approach

C is function-driven while C++ is object-driven.
We can use functions inside structures in C++ but not in C.
C++ allows the use of reference variables while C does not.

C++ has double '+' that C doesnot

C++ support OOP language.

Following are the difference between C and C++

- C is procedural language.
- Polymorphism is not possible in C.
- Operator overloading is not possible in C.
- Multiple Declaration of global variables are allowed.

- C++ is non Procedural i.e Object oriented Language.
- The concept of polymorphism is used in C++.
- Operator overloading is one of the greatest feature in C++.
- Multiple Declaration of global varioables are not allowed.
