1. C++ Motivation and Course Framework

โ˜… Must-know

  • C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1985 as an extension of C with object-oriented features.

๐Ÿ“Œ C++ combines near-assembly performance, manual memory control, object-oriented programming, generic programming, and procedural programming.

Further detail

  • C++ is used in:
    • operating systems
    • compilers
    • drivers
    • games
    • trading systems
