       C++ PROGRAMING LANGUAGE

       C++ (pronounced see plus plus) is a
       statically typed, free-form, multi-
       paradigm, compiled, general-
       purpose programming language. It
       is regarded as a "middle-level"
       language, as it comprises a
       combination of both high-level and
       low-level language features.[2] It
       was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
       starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an
       enhancement to the C programming
       language and originally named C
       with Classes. It was renamed C++ in
       1983.[3]
       As one of the most popular
       programming languages ever
       created,[4][5] C++ is widely used in
       the software industry. Some of its
       application domains include systems
       software, application software,
       device drivers, embedded software,
       high-performance server and client
       applications, and entertainment
       software such as video games.
       Several groups provide both free
       and proprietary C++ compiler
       software, including the GNU Project,
       Microsoft, Intel and Borland. C++ has
       greatly influenced many other
       popular programming languages,
       most notably Java.
       C++ is also used for hardware design,
       where design is initially described in
       C++, then analyzed, architecturally
       constrained, and scheduled to create
       a register transfer level hardware
       description language via high-level
       synthesis.[citation needed]
       The language began as
       enhancements to C, first adding
       classes, then virtual functions,
       operator overloading, multiple
       inheritance, templates, and
       exception handling among other
       features. After years of development,
       the C++ programming language
       standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/
       IEC 14882:1998. That standard is still
       current, but is amended by the 2003
       technical corrigendum, ISO/IEC
       14882:2003. The next standard
       version (known informally as C++0x)
       is in development.
