| Is C++ is must to work in the area of embedded systems or c alone is sufficient.

No C++ is necessary only if you want to do object oriented programming and that mainly when dealing with computer user interfaces...for microcontrollers C is enough...and if you feel C is difficult then you can even use Basic as now most of the microcontrollers are coming with Basic Compilers...

| C alone is enough for the Embedded programming. C++ comes into picture only when you have some concept of object oriented programming. Its not compulsory to know C++.

Hi
C is sufficient for most programming needs in embedded systems. But some of the higher level (appplication or middleware) would require C++. Like for eg:-, in pda or mobile phones, where the os environment is WinCE, the application might be developed in VC++. The GUI framework in C++. Even in linux environments, there are GUI frameworks like Qt which use C++.

Hi
Only "EMBEDDED C" Language is used in EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.

Few machines and consequently C++ compilers really support all C++ standard. Most of them support a "subset" of C++ standard for embedded system called now at Embedded C++.
I think C is better choice than C++ in next 5 or 10 years...

atcually it depens on your project reuirement.
and how it will be going easy to implement as well as understand..
but ya niether C only nor C++ only is not sufficient for embedded systems.
you must have knowledge of Assembly language also.

| It depends on the application and area u r working. Generally telecom embedded projects are written C++ but maximum embedded programming is done either in C or directly in Assembly language on a cross compiler.

| C is the widely used language for programming microcontollers, but still, C++ is the emerging language which is having impt features that u don't have in C. So, switching to C++ for mc programming is necessary.

Maybe vary according project. Its not necessary for example rewrite a kernel of OS for example, or a large application previos writing in C with no OO.
The big idea of C++ is OO programming, then for change large structural paradigm program to OO is a hard work. I think that coexistance of two languages, OS and RTOS and low rotines in C and application in C++.

Actually 'C' is the most important and valuable language in embedded system programming .So , 'C' alone is sufficient for Embedded System Programming , but if you are going to use some Object Oriented Modules then it is necessary to go out from 'C' , there u can use 'C++' or any other OOP programming .
ok..
Take care and Good Bye .....

| If you are working on microcontroller level only then only C is sufficient. But if u want to work at OS level in embedded system like Linux kernel then C++ is must.

Hi,
Most of the times, C is enough for programming a embedded system, and yes Object Oriented approach can also be attained in C, but not to an extent achieved in C++.
E.g.: A uC interfacing a LCD controller till a quite complex car radio system.
But when implementing a very complex system with OS, a very complex GUI C++ is usually preferred.
E.g.: Present day cell phones

Bharath
