C++ is a widely used and a popular programming language. C++ was developed as an extension of C by Bjarne Stroustrup. It was initially called C with Classes.
The primary motivation behind C++ was to add Object Oriented Programming (OOP) features to C, addressing the need of better management and organisation of Code for large projects.
Major use cases of C++
- Game Development
- System Programming
- Embedded Systems
- High-Performance Applications

C++ in Operating Systems
C++ is widely used in creating operating systems like Windows, MacOS due to its ability to interact closely with the hardware and manage system resources efficiently.
C++ in Game Development
C++ is a popular choice for game development due to its high performance and ability to handle complex graphics and real-time simulations. Many game engines, such as Unreal Engine, are built using C++.
C++ is also used in many other cases like Embedded Systems and IoT, Database development, Web browsers like chrome are built in C++ and many more.
