Cpp Features

C++ is object oriented programming language. It provides a lot of features that are given below.


1. Mid-level programming language
2. Structured programming language
3. Rich Library
4. Simple
5. Machine Independent or Portable
6. Memory Management
7. Fast Speed
8.Object Oriented
9.Compiler based
10. Pointers
11. Recursion
12.Extensible


1.)  Mid-level programming language
C++ is also used to do low level programming. It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver etc. It also supports the feature of high level language. That is why it is known as mid-level language.



2.) Structured programming language
C++ is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions. So, it is easy to understand and modify.



3.) Rich Library
C++ provides a lot of inbuilt functions that makes the development fast.



4.) Simple
C++ is a simple language in the sense that it provides structured approach (to break the problem into parts), rich set of library functions, data types etc.



5.) Machine Independent or Portable
Unlike assembly language, c programs can be executed in many machines with little bit or no change. But it is not platform-independent.



6) Memory Management
It supports the feature of dynamic memory allocation. In C++ language, we can free the allocated memory at any time by calling the free() function.


7) Speed
The compilation and execution time of C++ language is fast.



8.) Object Oriented
C++ is object oriented programming language. OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as project size grows.


9.) Compiler based
C++ is a compiler based programming language, it means without compilation no C++ program can be executed. First we need to compile our program using compiler and then we can execute our program.



10.) Pointer
C++ provides the feature of pointers. We can directly interact with the memory by using the pointers. We can use pointers for memory, structures, functions, array etc.



11.) Recursion
In C++, we can call the function within the function. It provides code reusability for every function.



12.) Extensible
C++ language is extensible because it can easily adopt new features.
