History of C++
-> The C++ language is an object-oriented programming language & is a combination of both low-level & high-level language – a Middle-Level Language.
-> C++ was developed by a Danish Computer Scientist – Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Telephone Laboratories (now known as Nokia Bell Labs) in Murray Hill, New Jersey. when Bjarne Stroustrup was working in his Ph.D. thesis. During that period Stroustrup used to work with Simula (regarded as the first language to support OOP paradiagram).
Fascinated by object-oriented approach Stroustrup thought of implementing this paradigm in software development, however, the Simula language was far too slow for practical use. So he began working on C with classes i.e. he started working on a new language which would have object-oriented paradigm mixed with the features of C programming language.
-> Initially, C++ was known as "C with classes". Later C++ Name was coined by Rick Masciti in 1983.
-> C++ is known as Object oriented Programming language(OOP) where as C language is known as Proceedure Oriented Programming language.
-> The ++ operator in C++ means the incrementor or successor of C programming.In 1985, first commercial edition of C++ was released. The language was yet to standardize.
-> In 1989, the official standard version 2.0 was released
-> In 1998, the standard committee of C++ released the first international standard ISO C++ 98.
-> In 2003, the C++98 was revised fixing the bugs and the name of the revised language was dubbed as C++03.
-> Similarly, C++11 and C++14 are the another revised versions of 2011 and 2014, where some new modules and regular expressions were introduced in C++.
So this is all about the history of C++ from its inception to its revolution.
