Feature of c++

C++ is object oriented programming language. It provides a lot of features that are given below.

  • It is simple and easy to use.
  • Middle-Level Programming Language.
  • Machine Independent or Portable
  • Structured Programming Language.
  • Memory Management.
  • Fast Speed.
  • Pointers.
  • Recursion.
  • Extensiable.
  • Rich Library
  • Object Oriented
  • Compiler based

Simple

C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a structured approach (to break the problem into parts), the rich set of library functions, data types, etc.

Machine Independent or Portable.

Unlike assembly language, c programs can be executed on different machines with some machine specific changes. Therefore, C is a machine independent language.

Mid-level programming language

Although, C is intended to do low-level programming. It is used to develop system applications It also supports the features of a high-level language. That is why it is known as mid-level language.

Structured programming language

C is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions. So, it is easy to understand and modify. Functions also provide code reusability.

Memory Management

It supports the feature of dynamic memory allocation. In C language, we can free the allocated memory at any time by calling the free() function.

Fast Speed

The compilation and execution time of C language is fast since there are lesser inbuilt functions and hence hence the lesser.

Pointers

C provides the feature of pointers. We can directly interact with the memory by using the pointers. We can use pointers for memory, structures, functions, array, etc.

Recursion

In C, we can call the function within the function. It provides code reusability for every function. Recursion enables us to use the approach of backtracking.

Extensiable

C language is extensible because it can easily adopt new features.

Rich Library

C++ provides a lot of inbuilt functions that makes the development fast.

Object Oriented

C++ is object oriented programming language. OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as project size grows.

Compiler based

C++ is a compiler based programming language, it means without compilation no C++ program can be executed. First we need to compile our program using compiler and then we can execute our program.
