Difference Between C and C++

 

Difference Between C And C++ :-

• C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both languages have almost the same syntax.

• The main difference between C and C++ is that C++ support classes and objects, while C does not.

Similarities between C and C++ are :- 

Data Types :- Both languages use similar primitive data types like int, char, float, double, and void.

Basic Syntax :- Both languages share similar basic syntax, including the use of semicolons to end statements, curly braces {} to define blocks of code.

Operators :-

• Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %)
• Relational operators (==, !=, <, >, <=, >=)
• Logical operators (&&, ||, !)
• Bitwise operators (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>)
• Assignment operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, <<=, >>=, &=, ^=, |=)
• Increment and decrement operators (++, --)
• Conditional operator (?:)

Pointers :- Both languages support pointers, allowing direct memory access and manipulation. And Similar syntax for defining and using pointers.
