Does C have any advantages over C++?
Much easier to interface with other languages. A lot of languages will let you call C functions directly. Binding to a C++ library is usually a much more elaborate job. Compiling C programs is faster than compiling C++ programs, because parsing C is much easier than parsing C++.
Is there any future of C++?
Yes there is future in c++. Because every big project is designed using c++. In short we can say that c/c++ is the basics of all languages and c++ or c concepts are used in every language.
Can C do everything C++ can?
Yes, in terms of “getting the CPU to do something,” a C program can do anything a C++ program can do. It typically requires a different approach, but it can be done. (The first C++ “compiler” was really just a translator of C++ source code into C source code.)
Is it better to learn C or C++ for programming?
C generally won’t be as safe (ex: implicit casting, requires manual resource cleanup, etc) which is one thing which C++ strives to do a little better than C, but it also won’t burden the programmer with awkward casting syntax (in C++ one shouldn’t need to cast often, but in C it’s quite common), e.g.
What is the best book for learning C programming language?
The book The C Programming Language (aka: K&R) tells you clearly how to do everything the language can do in under 300 pages. It’s a masterpiece of minimalism. No C++ book even comes close.
What are some systems that are programmed in the C language?
The following are some of the systems that are used by millions and are programmed in the C language. Microsoft’s Windows kernel is developed mostly in C, with some parts in assembly language. For decades, the world’s most used operating system, with about 90 percent of the market share, has been powered by a kernel written in C.
What is the future of C language in software development?
The future of software development is parallel programming. We will need a lot of parallel processor to build intelligent software in many areas. C and C++ are the language for building that kind of systems. When you understand C, you really understand how computers, operating systems and algorythms work.
