FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions

 

This section contains exclusively generic Questions and Answers relative to the C++ language. If you are looking for questions and answers about concrete programming problems go to our queries section.

· What is C++?

C++ is a programming language. Literally it means "increased C", since it derives from the C language. Go to the C++ description for more descriptive information.

· Is it necessary to have learned another language previously to be able to program in C++?

No. C++ is a simple and clear language in its expressions. It is true that a piece of code written with C++ may be seen by a stranger of programming a bit more cryptic than other languages due to the intensive use of special characters ({}[]*&!|...), but once known the meaning of such characters it can be even more schematic and clear than other languages.
Also, the simplification of the input/output interface of C++ in comparison with C for simple tasks, makes the communication in a program written in C++ does not to have anything to envy to the simplicity of other languages, without losing for that the power that offers this language.

· How can I learn C++?

There are many ways, depending on the time you have and your capabilities and preferences, you can go to courses or try to learn by yourself with help of tutorials or books.

· What is the OOP: Object-oriented programming?

It is a programming model that pretends to treat programming from a perspective where each component is considered like an object, with its own characteristics, replacing or complementing the criteria of structured programming where the object concept does not exist, only procedures and variables that interact.
