Difference between C and C++

C and C++ are languages.

C is a middle level language because it stands in between High level languge and Low level language.Programs written in C are efficient and fast.It is used in structured programming.

C++ is derived from the C language.C++ uses compile-time binding which means that the programmer must specify the specific class of an object.C++ programs are fast and efficient, qualities which helped to make C an extremely popular programming language.

hi,


->C is Procedure Oriented Programming Language (POP).
->C++ is Object Oriented Programming Language (OOP).


->C is mostly used to develop system software.
->C++ is mostly used to modal real life problem to program and use to develop application programs.


->C program has extension .C
->C++ program has extension .cpp

->C uses the top-down approach.
->while C++ uses the bottom-up approach.

->C is function-driven.
->while C++ is object-driven.

THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C AND C++ ARE AS FALLOWS

*In c declaring the global variable several times is allowed but this is not allowed in c++.

*After declaring structures and enumerators in c we cannot declare the variable for the structure right after the end of the structure as in c++.

*For an int main() in c++ we may not write a return statement but the return is mandatory in c if we are using int main().

*In C++ it having operator overloading and in C it doesn't have.

* The C++ is the advance version of C.classes, function overloading and operator overloading.

1.C is loosely typed language but not cpp means for example if you want to create a junk of memory on heap,in C we can create like
int *i=malloc(sizeof(4));
byt in cpp we need to type cast that one means
int *i=(int *)malloc(sizeof(4));
type enforcement is more efficient in cpp.
2.In cpp we cant call a function with different arguments but in cpp it is possible(FUNCTION OVERLOADING).

i want IT branch syllabus for gate preparation or for cse branch entire one means marks alloted everything if possible
