C++

C++ is a powerful, general-purpose programming language that was developed as an extension of the C programming language. It incorporates object-oriented programming features and provides low-level memory manipulation, making it suitable for system-level programming as well as application development. Here are some key concepts in C++:

  1. Syntax:

    • C++ syntax is similar to C with some additional features.
    • Programs are organized into functions, and a program typically starts execution from the main function.

  2. Data Types:

    • C++ supports fundamental data types like int, float, double, char, etc.
    • It also allows the creation of user-defined data types using classes and structures.

  3. Variables:

    • Variables are used to store data.
    • Declaration includes the data type and a name (e.g., int x;).

  4. Operators:

    • C++ includes a wide range of operators for arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, and other operations.

  5. Control Flow:

    • C++ supports control flow statements like if, else, switch, while, do-while, and for loops.

  6. Functions:

    • Functions in C++ allow modularization of code.
    • Functions can have parameters and return values.

  7. Arrays:

    • Arrays are used to store a collection of elements of the same data type.

  8. Pointers:

    • Pointers allow direct manipulation of memory addresses.
    • Dynamic memory allocation and deallocation are possible using new and delete operators.

  9. Classes and Objects:

    • C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language.
    • Classes are used to create user-defined data types, and objects are instances of these classes.

  10. Inheritance:

    • Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class.
    • It promotes code reusability.

  11. Polymorphism:

    • Polymorphism allows objects of different types to be treated as objects of a common type.
    • It includes function overloading and virtual functions.

  12. Encapsulation:

    • Encapsulation involves bundling data and the methods that operate on the data within a single unit, known as a class.
    • Access specifiers (public, private, protected) control the visibility of class members.

  13. Templates:

    • Templates enable generic programming, allowing you to create functions and classes that work with any data type.

  14. STL (Standard Template Library):

    • The STL provides a collection of template classes and functions that implement many popular algorithms and data structures.

  15. Exception Handling:

    • C++ supports try, catch, and throw statements for handling exceptions and errors.

  16. File Handling:

    • C++ supports file input and output operations through streams.

  17. Namespaces:
