    C++ includes all features of C but also adds object oriented programming capabilities like classes, inheritance and polymorphism. Some key differences are that C++ supports classes and objects, function overloading, references, namespaces, and better memory management than C. C++ also allows separating interface from implementation for better encapsulation compared to C.

    Difference between C And C++

    In object oriented programming, the programmer can solve problems


    by breaking them down into real-life objects (it presented the
    programmer with an opportunity to mirror real life).
    What is an object?
    Consider the category of cars. All cars have some common features
    (for example all cars have four wheels, an engine, some body colour,
    seats etc.). Are all cars the same? Of course not, A Fiat and a Ford
    aren’t the same but they are called as cars in general. In this example
    cars will form a class and Ford (or Fiat) will be an object. For those
    people who know C programming, it would be useful to know the
    differences between C and C++. Basically C++ includes everything
    present in C but the use of some C features is deprecated in C++.

    • C does not have classes and objects (C does not support


    OOP).

    • Structures in C cannot have functions.

    • C does not have namespaces (namespaces are used to


    avoid name collisions).

    • The I/O functions are entirely different in C and C++(ex:


    printf( ), scanf( ) etc. are part of the C language).

    • You cannot overload a function in C (i.e. you cannot have 2


    functions with the same name in C).

    • Better dynamic memory management operators are


    available in C++.

    • C does not have reference variables (in C++ reference


    variables are used in functions).

    • In C constants are defined as macros (in C++ we can make


    use of ‘const’ to declare a constant).

    • Inline functions are not available in C.


    Difference between C And C++

    • C was the C++ predecessor. As its name implies, a lot of C


    remains in C++. Although not actually being more powerful than
    C, C++ allows the programmer to more easily manage and
    operate with Objects, using an OOP (Object Oriented
    Programming) concept.

    • C++ allows the programmer to create classes, which are


    somewhat similar to C structures. However, to a class can be
    assigned methods, functions associated to it, of various
    prototypes, which can access and operate within the class,
    somewhat like C functions often operate on a supplied handler
    pointer.

    • Although it is possible to implement anything which C++ could


    implement in C, C++ aids to standardize a way in which objects
    are created and managed, whereas the C programmer who
    implements the same system has a lot of liberty on how to
    actually implement the internals, and style among programmers
    will vary a lot on the design choices made.

    • In C, some will prefer the handler-type, where a main function


    initializes a handler, and that handler can be supplied to other
    functions of the library as an object to operate on/through. Others
    will even want to have that handler link all the related function
    pointers within it which then must be called using a convention
    closer to C++.

    • In C, there's only one major memory allocation function: malloc.


    You use it to allocate both single elements and arrays. In C++,
    however, memory allocation for arrays is somewhat different
    than for single objects; you use the new[] operator, and you must
    match calls to new[] with calls to delete[] (rather than to delete).

    • C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and are much


    slower to compile than C programs. The low-level infrastructure
    for C++ binary execution is also larger. For these reasons C is
    always commonly used even if C++ has a lot of popularity, and
    will probably continue to be used in projects where size and
    speed are primary concerns, and portable code still required
    (assembly would be unsuitable then).

    • In C++, you are free to leave off the statement 'return 0;' at the
    end of main; it will be provided automatically but in C, you must
    manually add it.

    • A function can be declared in C as int fun( );. This means that


    fun( ) is a function without any argument or any number of
    arguments. But in C++, this means that the function with no
    argument at all.

    • C++ support operator overloading but c doesn't support


    operator overloading.
