'''C++''' (pronounced "'''C Plus Plus'''") is a general-purpose and system-level object-oriented [[programming language]]. It is commonly regarded as a ''middle-level'' language as it incorporates features of both [[High-level programming language|high-level]] and [[Low-level programming language|low-level]] programming languages. Bjarne Stroustrup started developement of C++ in 1979 while at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He initially called it "C with Classes" but in 1983 the name was changed to C++. C++ source code is compiled to machine code for the target platform.

==Language syntax==
C++ is made up of most of C's syntax and includes the C preprocessor also simply called the preprocessor. Added features include classes and objects, references, function and operator overloading, exceptions, templates, namespaces, and an extended supporting operator set.
 
===Classes and objects===
The introduction of classes and the extension of structures (struct) provide the main features for object oriented design namely: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. Classes, structures and unions provide a defined "description" from which objects are created at runtime.
