C++ is language developed from C by Bjarne Stroustrup to handle very large software systems that might be distributed over large networks. Using concepts taken from object orientated languages like smalltalk.
As software systems grew in size and became difficult to fully understand, a language like C++ was needed. Data could be encapsulated and software modules could expose interfaces. The code could be extended, so long as the interface was constant, the system would run.
Nontheless, C++ is an ugly, cryptic, difficult to understand and debug language.
A lot of so called C++ programs are nothing more than a C program with extensions, use Microsoft visual c++ and it writes more code in the background than you do in your program!
but look at the real hard stuff, code that is written using features such as templates and partial template specialization, multiple inheretence and friend functions. It gets realy ugly, like twisted spagetti.
