C++ Language Tutorial For Beginner: Learn C++ in 7 days

C++ (pronounced see plus plus) was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs as an extension to C, starting in 1979. C++ adds many new features to the C language, and is perhaps best thought of as a superset of C, though this is not strictly true as C99 introduced a few features that do not exist in C++. C++’s claim to fame results primarily from the fact that it is an object-oriented language. As for what an object is and how it differs from traditional programming methods, well, we’ll cover that in

C++ was ratified in 1998 by the ISO committee, and again in 2003 (called C++03). Two updates to the C++ language (C++11 and C++14, ratified in 2011 and 2014 accordingly) have been made since then, adding additional functionality to the language. Relevant features from both of these updates will be discussed in these tutorials.
