Detailed Differences between C and C++ are:
C | C++ |
---|---|
C was developed by Dennis Ritchie between the year 1969 and 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs. | C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. |
C does no support polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance which means that C does not support object oriented programming. | C++ supports polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance because it is an object oriented programming language. |
C is a subset of C++. | C++ is a superset of C. C codes can be run by C++ but C cannot run the C++ codes. |
C contains 32 keywords. | C++ contains 52 keywords. |
For the development of code, C supports procedural programming. | C++ is known as hybrid language because C++ supports both procedural and object oriented programming paradigms. |
Data and functions are separated in C because it is a procedural programming language. | Data and functions are encapsulated together in form of an object in C++. |
C does not support information hiding. | Data is hidden by the Encapsulation to ensure that data structures and operators are used as intended. |
Built-in data types is supported in C. | Built-in & user-defined data types is supported in C++. |
C is a function driven language because C is a procedural programming language. | C++ is an object driven language because it is an object oriented programming. |
Function and operator overloading is not supported in C. | Function and operator overloading is supported by C++. |
C is a function-driven language. | C++ is an object-driven language |
Functions in C are not defined inside structures. | Functions can be used inside a structure in C++. |
Namespace features are not present inside the C. | NAMESPACE is used by C++, which avoid name collisions. |
Header file used by C is stdio.h. | Header file used by C++ is iostream.h. |
Reference variables are not supported by C. | Reference variables are supported by C++. |
Virtual and friend functions are not supported by C. | Virtual and friend functions are supported by C++. |
C does not support inheritance. | C++ supports inheritance. |
Instead of focusing on data, C focuses on method or process. | C++ focuses on data instead of focusing on method or procedure. |
C provides malloc() and calloc()functions for dynamic memory allocation, and free() for memory de-allocation. | C++ provides new operator for memory allocation and delete operator for memory de-allocation. |
Direct support for exception handling is not supported by C. | Exception handling is supported by C++. |
scanf and printf functions are used for input/output in C. | cin and cout are used for input/output in C++. |
