C++

C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be used to develop operating systems, browsers, games, and so on. C++ supports different ways of programming like procedural, object-oriented, functional, and so on. This makes C++ powerful as well as flexible.

About C++ Programming

• Multi-paradigm Language - C++ supports at least seven different styles of programming. Developers can choose any of the styles. A programming paradigm is a style of programming based on particular model of computation. For Example- procedural programming is based on organizing code through through procedures or functions.
• General Purpose Language - You can use C++ to develop games, desktop apps, operating systems, and so on.
• Speed - Like C programming, the performance of optimized C++ code is exceptional.
• Object-oriented - C++ allows you to divide complex problems into smaller sets by using objects.

Why Learn C++?

• C++ is used to develop games, desktop apps, operating systems, browsers, and so on because of its performance.
• After learning C++, it will be much easier to learn other programming languages like Java, Python, etc.
• C++ helps you to understand the internal architecture of a computer, how computer stores and retrieves information.

Uses of C++

1) Games

C++ is close to the hardware, can easily manipulate resources, provide procedural programming over CPU intensive functions and is fast. It is also able to override the complexities of 3D games and provides multilayer networking. All these benefits of C++ make it a primary choice to develop the gaming systems as well as game development suites.

2) GUI Based Applications

C++ can be used to develop most of the GUI based and desktop applications easily as it has got the required features.

3) Database Software

C++ is also used in writing database management software. The two most popular databases MySQL and Postgres are written in C++.

4) Operating Systems

The fact that C++ is a strongly typed and fast programming language makes it an ideal candidate for writing operating systems. In addition to this, C++ has a wide collection of system-level functions that also help in writing low-level programs.

5) Browsers

Browsers are mostly used in C++ for rendering purposes. Rendering engines need to be faster in execution as most people do not like to wait for the web page to be loaded. With the fast performance of C++, most browsers have their rendering software written in C++.

For Example-

•  Mozilla internet browser Firefox is an open-source project and is developed completely in       C++.
• Google applications like Google File System and Chrome browser are written in C++.
• Just like the Firefox browser, the email client from Mozilla, Thunderbird is also developed in C++. This is also an open-source project.
