Features of C++
C++ is object oriented programming language and it is a very simple and easy language, It is the
enhanced form of C programming language. this language have following features and here we
discuss some important features of C++.
Important Features of C++
Simple
Portability
Powerful
Platform dependent
Object oriented oriented
Case sensitive
Compiler based
Syntax based language
Use of Pointers
Simple
Every C++ program can be written in simple English language so that it is very easy to
understand and developed by programmer.
Platform dependent
A language is said to be platform dependent whenever the program is execute in the same
operating system where that was developed and compiled but not run and execute on other
operating system. C++ is platform dependent language.
,Note: .obj file of C++ program is platform dependent.
Portability
It is the concept of carrying the instruction from one system to another system. In C++
Language .cpp file contain source code, we can edit also this code. .exe file contain application,
only we can execute this file. When we write and compile any C++ program on window operating
system that program easily run on other window based system.
When we can copy .exe file to any other computer which contain window operating system then it
works properly, because the native code of application an operating system is same.
Powerful
C++ is a very powerful programming language, it have a wide verity of data types, functions,
control statements, decision making statements, etc.
Object oriented Programming language
This main advantage of C++ is, it is object oriented programming language. It follow concept of
oops like polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction.
Case sensitive
C++ is a case sensitive programming language. In C++ programming 'break and BREAK' both
are different.
If any language treats lower case latter separately and upper case latter separately than they can
be called as case sensitive programming language [Example c, c++, java, .net are sensitive
programming languages.] other wise it is called as case insensitive programming language
[Example HTML, SQL is case insensitive programming languages].
Compiler based
C++ is a compiler based programming language that means without compilation no C++ program
can be executed. First we need compiler to compile our program and then execute.
, Syntax based language
C++ is a strongly tight syntax based programming language. If any language follow rules and
regulation very strictly known as strongly tight syntax based language. Example C, C++,
Java, .net etc. If any language not follow rules and regulation very strictly known as loosely tight
syntax based language.
Example HTML.
Efficient use of pointers
Pointers is a variable which hold the address of another variable, pointer directly direct access to
memory address of any variable due to this performance of application is improve. In C++
language also concept of pointer are available.
Advantage of C++ Programming Language
Abstract data type defining is very good
C++ language is efficient having less compiled time.
It is much suitable for large projects.
Encapsulation, polymorphism, abstraction are the important properties of C++
language
Objects, methods, instance, message passing, inheritance are some important
properties inherited by this language
C++ Programming is easy to maintain and modify existing code as new objects with
small difference to existing ones.
C++ Programming is implemented on real life scenario.
The properties of inheritance make simple the program by complexity. Do not
required to write again.
Implementation details are hidden from other modules which represent a clearly
defined interface.
Applications of C++
Mainly C++ Language is used for Develop Desktop application and system software. Some
application of C++ language are given below.
For Develop Graphical related application like computer and mobile games.
To evaluate any kind of mathematical equation use C++ language.
C++ Language are also used for design OS. Like window xp.
