This is day two of my noob coder adventure and I am officially kicking off. The first thing to learn in C++ programming is the history and features. 

<h2>History</h2>
The name C++ was first used in 1983. Before then, it was called C with classes by Bjarne Stroustrup. Bjarne Stroustrup created the programming language in 1979, he started it as an extended version of C.

<h2>Features/Comparison with C</h2>

C++ is an extended version of C,  it offers much more than C with classes. It is a middle-level programing language meaning that it can be used to develop high-level applications and low-level libraries. C is a procedural programming while C++ is an object-oriented programming language. C++ is a block-structured programming language. In C you can organize a code by functions but you can’t create a function inside a function. C is, therefore, a structured programing language but C++ is a block-structured programming language because in C++, you can create a function inside a function.

<h1>Why Study C++ instead of Java or C#</h1>

* In C programming it becomes difficult to manage the programme when the number of lines in a source code increases or when or the programme becomes complex. This is not the case with C++.

* In C you can’t create a function inside a function but you can achieve this in C++.

* C++ is the preferred language among the object-oriented programming languages.

* C++ is very near to the execution speed of C, yet it allows much more features than C.

<h2>Where is C++ used?</h2>
C++ is used in
* Operating systems such as windows.
* Device drivers
* Web servers
* Cloud-based applications
* Search engines

* C++ is the language of choice for creating other programming languages
