The C++ Programming Language
C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming
that supports low-level programming in traditional styles, data abstraction,
object-oriented programming, and generic programming. C++ was initially developed from the
C programming language by the addition of facilities for object-oriented programming from
the SIMULA programming language. Over the years, the flexibility and generality of the
facilities offered by C++ has been greatly improved without compromising run-time
efficiency. C++ is distinguished among programming languages by a combination of
efficiency (like C and Fortran) and abstraction facilities. The "abstraction facilities"
provided by C++ allow programs to be expressed in terms natural to application designers
(rather than lower-level computer-oriented terminology).
