Object-oriented programming language based on C, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in the 1980s. It was finally standardized in 1998 (ISO/IEC 14882-1998 "Information Technology - Programming Languages - C++"). In addition to its support for object-oriented programming, C++ is distinguished from C by its support for generic programming through the use of templates.

Bjarne Stroustrup maintains a [list] of frequently asked questions about the language.

Example Program

 #include <iostream>

 int main()
 {
     std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
     return 0;
 }
