History of C++

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the 1980's. C++ programming language is extension to C Language. In beginnings it is known as "C with Classes".
Later the name was changed to C++. In 1983, the name of the language was changed from C with Classes to C++. The ++ operator in the C language is an operator for incrementing a variable, which gives some insight into how Stroustrup regarded the language. Many new features were added around this time, the most notable of which are virtual functions, function overloading, references with the & symbol, the const keyword, and single-line comments using two forward slashes (which is a feature taken from the language BCPL).
There are several versions of C++ Programming Language :
  • Visual C++
  • Borland C++
  • Turbo C++
  • Standardize C++ [ANSI C++]
