C++

C++ is a programming language that was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s. It is an extension of the C programming language and was designed to be more object-oriented and to have a wider range of features than C. C++ is a high-performance language and is commonly used in a variety of applications, including operating systems, web browsers, and video games. It is also a popular language for competitive programming. Do you have any specific questions about C++?

how does it work

C++ is a compiled language, which means that it is converted from human-readable source code into machine code that can be executed by a computer. To write and run a C++ program, you will need a text editor to write the source code and a compiler to convert the source code into an executable program.

Here is a simple C++ program that prints "Hello, World!" to the console:

 

To compile and run this program, you would need to do the following:

Use a text editor to create a file called "hello.cpp" and save the above source code to this file.

Open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to the directory where you saved the "hello.cpp" file.

Use a C++ compiler, such as g++ or clang++, to compile the source code. For example, you could use the following command: g++ hello.cpp -o hello

Run the compiled program by typing its name, for example: ./hello

This will cause the program to execute and print "Hello, World!" to the console.
