What is C/ C++?

     C was one of the first general-purpose high-level programming languages to gain almost universal use, and today you can program in C on almost any platform and machine.  It was created by Dennis Ritchie in 1971, as the successor to the "B" compiler, for UNIX systems.

      C++ allows programmers to leverage their knowledge of C with the use Object Oriented (OO) concepts, to create larger programs with easier and with better quality.  Since C++ contains all of the concepts of C, a C program can be run using a C++ compiler...but only a C++ compiler can compile a C++ program.  It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1980.
