C++ Programming

What is C++?

C++ is a high-performance, general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as an extension of the C programming language. It introduces Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, while retaining the low-level memory manipulation capabilities of C.

Where is C++ Used?

C++ powers the software that demands raw performance and control. Here are the major application areas:

Real-World Examples

Here are some practical applications you can build using C++:

Why Learn C++?

C++ is often called the "mother of modern programming" because it heavily influenced Java, C#, Python, and JavaScript. Learning C++ gives you a deep understanding of how computers actually work under the hood.

Simple C++ Program Example

Here is a basic program that demonstrates classes and core Object-Oriented concepts in C++:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Student {
private:
    string name;
    float marks;

public:
    // Constructor
    Student(string n, float m) : name(n), marks(m) {}

    string getGrade() {
        if (marks >= 60) return "First Class";
        if (marks >= 50) return "Second Class";
        return "Pass";
    }

    void display() {
        cout << "--- Student Details ---" << endl;
        cout << "Name: " << name << endl;
        cout << "Marks: " << marks << "/100" << endl;
        cout << "Grade: " << getGrade() << endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    Student student1("Rahul", 78.5);
    student1.display();
    return 0;
}

--- Student Details ---
Name: Rahul
Marks: 78.5/100
Grade: First Class
