Feature of C++ Language

Fig: Feature of c++

·         Simple:

 

 It is a simple language in the sense that programs can be broken down into logical units and parts, has a rich libray support and a variety of data-types.

·         Machine Independent but Platform Dependent:

 

 A C++ executable is not platform-independent (compiled programs on Linux won’t run on Windows), however they are machine independent.

·         Mid-level language:

 

 It is a mid-level language as we can do both systems-programming (drivers, kernels, networking etc.) and build large-scale user applications (Media Players, Photoshop, Game Engines etc.)

 

·         Rich library support:

 

 Has a rich library support (Both standard ~ built-in data structures, algorithms etc.) as well 3rd party libraries (e.g. Boost libraries) for fast and rapid development.

 

·         Speed of execution:

 

 C++ programs excel in execution speed. Since, it is a compiled language, and also hugely procedural. Newer languages have extra in-built default features such as grabage-collection, dynamic typing etc. which slow the execution of the program overall. Since there is no additional processing overhead like this in C++, it is blazing fast.

 

·         Pointer and direct Memory-Access:

 

 C++ provides pointer support which aids users to directly manipulate storage address. This helps in doing low-level programming (where one might need to have explicit control on the storage of variables).

 

·         Object-Oriented:

 

One of the strongest points of the language which sets it apart from C. Object-Oriented support helps C++ to make maintainable and extensible programs. i.e. Large-scale applications can be built. Procedural code becomes difficult to maintain as code-size grows.

·         Compiled Language:

 

C++ is a compiled language, contributing to its speed.
