C++ Programming
C++, conceived by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs, is a high-level programming language that inherits object-oriented capabilities from its predecessor, C. Widely recognized for its applicability in graphical applications, particularly within Windows and Macintosh environments, C++ is renowned for its versatility and efficiency.
As an imperative procedural language, C++ was engineered to be compiled efficiently. It grants developers direct access to low-level memory while offering constructs that seamlessly translate into machine instructions with minimal runtime support.
Its prevalence is evident across diverse domains. For instance, Google Search, encompassing its HTTP front-end, is predominantly coded in C++. Other notable platforms employing C++ include:
- Bigtable
- MySQL and Postgres
- Yahoo, with C++ underpinning its backends and PHP powering its frontends
- YouTube, leveraging C++ for its backends and Python for frontend operations
- Facebook, employing C/C++ for backends and Hack/HHVM for frontends
C++ embraces imperative, object-oriented, and generic programming paradigms, facilitating low-level memory manipulation alongside high-level abstraction. Tailored for systems programming, such as embedded systems and operating system kernels, it prioritizes performance, efficiency, and adaptability.
Beyond its traditional domains, C++ finds utility in various applications, spanning desktop software, servers (e.g., e-commerce, web search, SQL), performance-critical systems (e.g., telephone switches, space probes), and entertainment software.
