A C and C++ programming tutorial for everyone. You may use the materials given in this site as a beginner’s guide(to C and C++ programming) or you may use it as a reference if you are already familiar with C and C++ languages. Besides the basic C and C++ topics, the new features added to the languages such as C11, C++11, C++14, C++17 and C++20 will be also discussed. Every effort will be made to cover all the topics as much as possible. If any mistake or misinterpretation of the concept is found just drop us an email, any suggestion to improve the content of this site is always welcome if you have any other issue we are always there just shout out to us!! 🙂
C is part of C++!
Even if the title suggests, I do not mean to give a history on C and C++ or how it came to be, search Google for that. I rather want to convey that C is part of C++ and if you read the history of C++ you will find that C++ is rather built from C, but with much more power and versatility, but of course, C still triumph in speed though. The simple fact is, you can just get started with C++ without learning C and C++ cover most of the topics of C, some of the recent features being an exception. So, either you are learning C or C++ you can jump back and forth between the two with little or no effort. But note, fully understanding the concepts of Object-oriented programming, inheritance, polymorphism, etc. requires a little more effort, but still, C++ is fun so you will cover them in no time. Lastly, before we begin a quote from the C++ creator; rather a comparison between C and C++:
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.
