Where CPP is Used, Why Learn C++ Programming Language Article

In the previous Article we have seen what exactly is C plus plus, we have seen when it was created,

why it was created, you know we have seen the history of the C++ programming language.

In this Article we will see some of the terms used with a programming language and then we are going to see the advantages of learning the c++ and then we will see where exactly this C++ programming language is used in the real world.

First let's take a look at some of the terms used with the programming language.

so the first term is the general purpose programming language.

 “A general purpose programming language is a language designed to be used for writing the softwares in our wide variety of application domains” In simple words when we say a programming language as a general purpose programming language it means that we can use that programming language to create different variety of applications.

This cplusplus is also a general purpose programming language.

it means you can use it for creating different types of softwares or the programs.

Now the next thing is C++ is a middle level language.

We have divided the programming languages in three categories.

lower level languages, high level languages and Middle level languages.

Low level languages allow us to directly interact with the machine.

The machine level code and assembly level language is come under the lower level language category and then we have the higher level languages where a programmer can easily write the program in a language which is almost similar to the human readable format.

The high level languages offer a lot of built-in features.

The programmer can use those features and easily write the programs.

Then we have another category called as the middle level languages Where are some programming languages offer the features of the high level languages and also the features of the lower

level languages.

This C plus plus programming language comes in the category of the middle level languages.

Here you know if a programming language belong to high level language or low level language or middle level language it doesn't really mean that that program language is good or bad.

Every programming language has its own pros and cons.

now the next thing is the compiled language.

The thing is C plus plus in the middle level language and the code written using the C plus plus programming language is much closer to the human readable format.

we can easily read the code and we can understand what exactly is going on.

But the computers on the other hand only understand the code written in the form of zeros and ones in other words the machine code.

so what we have to do is, first we have to write the program in the C plus plus and then we have to convert that code to the machine level form.

Here we use the compiler to convert the code to the machine form and this process of converting the code using the compiler is called as the compilation method.

since this uses the compilation method it is called as compiled language.

Now the next thing is the object oriented programming language.

we have talked about this in the previous video also.

C plus plus uses a new programming approach called as the object oriented programming approach.

since it uses this programming approach it is called as the object oriented programming language.

In C plus plus we can do four types of programming.

one is the procedural programming you know it is the way we program using the C programming language and other one is the object oriented programming and then we can can do the generic programming using their templates and then we have the functional programming.

This functional programming is newly added to the C plus plus programming language.

C plus plus is a general purpose middle level compiled object oriented programming language.

All right now let's take a look at some of the advantages of learning the C plus plus

programming language.

so the first thing is C plus plus itself is a efficient language.

The code written using the C plus plus programming language will run efficiently and also the code written using the C plus plus will be reliable and it will run fast.

Now the next thing is if you learn the C plus plus programming language you will be learning this different programming approaches.

so you will have the better understanding of the most of the programming approaches specifically the object oriented programming approach.

you will be learning the concepts like the classes objects inheritance polymorphism all these things and I think cplusplus is one of the best language to learn this object oriented programming approach.

so the advantage of this is once you learn this cplusplus then if you want to move to some other languages like in Java or C Sharp then it will be a lot more easy because this Java and C Sharp they also use the object oriented programming approach. so you will find it easy to learn those languages.

now finally left that look at where exactly this C plus plus programming language is widely used.

As we have seen before cplusplus is a general purpose programming language.

so it means that it can be used to create different variety of applications.

cplusplus is widely used for creating the games.

most of the games you see nowadays have majority of the code written using the cplusplus.

then it is used for creating the graphical user interface based applications you know you can use it where the user can interact with the computer using the buttons in menus and all those in those kind of applications also you can use the c++ and then cplusplus is also used in the image editing  softwares like the Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator image ready and C plus plus is also used for creating the web browsers for example the Mozilla Firefox has the most of the code written in the C plus plus, and then C plus plus is also used for creating the compilers and then cplusplus is also used for writing the major parts of the operating systems like osx or the windows, and c++ is also used for medical and Engineering applications you know you guys may have seen that some of the simulation softwares and also some softwares used in the medical field are written using the C plus plus.

Another area where C plus plus is widely used is for creating or writing the other programming languages.

For example the Java programming language is written used in the C plus plus programming language.

So this is it guys this is about some information on some of the programming terms used with C plus plus and also some information on the advantages of learning C++ and where this c++ is widely used in the real world.

now if you don't have the proper understanding of the concepts like the programming languages the types of programming languages and the compilation method, the integration method then I have a Article which explains all these things in detail...
