C++ is a programming language originally developed for developing the UNIX operating system. It is a low-level and powerful language, but it lacks many modern and useful constructs. C++ is a newer language, based on C that adds many more modern programming language features that make it easier to program than C. Basically C++ maintains all aspects of the C language, while providing new features to programmers that make it easier to write useful and sophisticated programs. For example, C++ makes it easier to manage memory and adds several features to allow "object-oriented" programming and "generic" programming. Basically, it makes it easier for programmers to stop thinking about the nitty-gritty details of how the machine works and think about the problems they are trying to solve.
