Questions
Answer Actually c is a procedural programming language which 3 Rajeev Kumar
# 2 cann't face the real world problem. It has some drawback
like a global data is shared by all function and if in a
large program it is find out difficult that which function
uses which data.
allinterview.com/…/33052.html 1/10
On the other hand c++ is an object oriented programming
language which eliminate some pitfall of conventional or
procedural programming language. It is a concept or
approach for designing a new software. It is nothing to do
with any programming language although a programming
language which support the oops concept to make it easier
to implement.
This is the main different between c and c++.
Is This Answer Correct ? 1641 Yes 205 No

Answer in c we use scanf function as standard input function,while 3 Chetna Chaudhari
# 3 in c++ we use streame cin>> for input.like this for output
in c we use printf function,while in c++ we use cout<< as a
output function.

Answer in c we use #include<stdio.h>as iclusion file,while in c++ 2 Chetna
# 4 we use #include<iostreame>as inclusion file. Chaudhari,jalgaon

Answer In object oriented programming, the programmer can solve 4 Sumit Gupta ,
# 5 problems by breaking them down into real-life objects (it Bangalore
presented the programmer with an opportunity to mirror real
life). What is an object? This topic is dealt with
extensively in the chapter on ‘Objects and Classes’ but a
brief introduction is provided here.
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.

Answer c is a topdown approach while c++ is bottom up approach 3 Ketan
#6

Answer IN c-programe the main function could not return a value 3 Satyajith Srinivas
# 7 but in the c++ the main function shuld return a value

Answer The main Difference between C and C++ is C is Object Based 3 Jayasrinivas.donavalli
# 8 program.that means in C also we have Object based
Applications like Structures and Unions.
C++ is Object Oriented Language that means entire
application will be depending on Objects only.
Uses of Object oriented Program is Reusability,Increase the
effiency of the program and it gives extra security like
Private data is also be there in C++.
C++ is the Advanced version of C.
In otherwords we say c++ supports both Object based and
Object oriented Applications

Answer A function can be declared in C as int fun();. This means 1 Krushna Priya Nath
# 9 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.

Answer The main difference between c and c++ is that " C is a 1 K.r.sukumar
# 10 structured programming language while C++ is an object
programming language and also we have templates in C++ that
is not the case in C

Answer In C memory allocation is done with malloc statement whereas 2 Vivek Goyanr
# 11 in C++ it is done through new keyword.Also memory is
deallocated in C using free statement while in C++
deallocation takes place through delete.

Answer c++ support operator overloading but 4 Uma
# 12 c doesn't support operator overloading..

Answer C C++ 4 Mayuri
# 13
DATA IS NOT SECURED SECURED
TOP DOWN BOTTOM-UP
FOCUS ON PROCEDURES FOCUS ON DATA
PROGRAMS ARE DECOMPOSED INTO OBJECTS

INTO FUNCTIONS
allocation is done NEW OPERATOR

with malloc statement
UNOINS AND ENUMS AVALIABLE

ARE NOT AVALIABLE
DOES NOT PROVIDE PROVIDES

DEFAULT ARGUMENTS

Answer C is a procedural Language, but C++ is a object oriented 5 Rajendra Kumar Jena
# 14 language.
* C employs top down approach, but c++ employes buttom up
approach.
* Here in C, when ever we are writing a program, the data

are not secured from the outside world. but in C++ data are
secured from the outside world.
* C give emphasis in algorithims and functions, but C++

give emphasis on the data and objects.
* In C we are using #include<stdio.h> as header file, but

in C++ we are using #include<iostream.h> as header file.

Answer C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and are 2 Shaliza Garg
# 15 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
alot 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).

Answer c is function or procedure oriented whereas c++ is object 2 Prakash Kumawat
# 16 oriented.it focus primariy on tht actions and events and
the programming model focuses on the logical assertions
that trigger execution of programme code whereas c++is
focusedon writingprogramas thet are more readable and
maintainable and helps the reuse of code by packing a group
of similar objects,inheritance and polymorphism. C was THE
C++ predecessor. A lot of c remains in c++.In c, the
result of applying the operator size to a character
constant. for example:- size of('c'),equalssize of (int).IN
c++,the expressionsize of('c'),returns size of(char).

Answer c does not support the c++ programme but c++ support the c 2 Dheeru Bhai
# 17 program.

Answer c is low level language while c++ is sn high level language. 0 Ravi Pratap
# 18 c++ is an extension of c language this means that you can
use not only the new features of c++ but can also use the c
programing on that. c++ is an object oriented while c is an
program oriented in which you can make new softwares.

Answer DIFFERENCE b/w C and C++ 3 Aashish Salotra
# 19 1.) C was the C++ predecessor. As its name implies, alot 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.
2.) 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.
3.) 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 alot of liberty on how to
actually implement the internals, and style among
programmers will vary alot on the design choices made.
4.) 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++.
5.) 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).
6.) C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and

are much slower to compile than C programs. The low-level
these reasons C is always commonly used even if C++ has alot
of popularity, and will probably continue to be used in
projects where size and speed are primary concerns, and
then).
7.) 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.
8.) 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.
9.) C++ support operator overloading but c doesn't support

operator overloading.

Answer IN "C" WE CAN'T FOUND OPERATOR OVERLOADING CONCEPT WHERE AS 3 Shaik Usman Ali
# 20 IN C++ IT IS POSSIBLE.THIS IS THE FIRST AND FORE MOST
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO LANGUAGES.
THAT TO BE "++ OPERATOR OVERLOATING" IS DONE FIRST.
THIS IS THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C AND C++ PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGES.

Answer here are some difference between c and c++ --- 4 Daisy Golwala
8/4/2010 Answer what is the main difference between c a… 4 Daisy Golwala
# 21 1. C is a PROCEDURE oriented programming language.
-> C++ is a OBJECT oriented programming language.
2. We can do programming through STRUCTURE,but NOT with the
help of the CLASS.
-> We can do programming through CLASS in c++.
3. C is a LOW level language.
->C++ is a HIGH level language.
4. C is a TOP->BOTTOM programming approch.
->C++ is a BOTTOM->TOP programming approch.
5. C is a collection of FUNCTIONS.
-> C++ is a collection of FUNCTIONS and/or CLASS.
6. c language main focuses on PROCEDURES.
-> c++ programming main focuses on OBJECTS.
7. In C,DATA can be MOVE openly around in the system from
function to function.
-> In C++,DATA is HIDDEn.It can not be accessed by external
functions.
8.C can not support all the feature of the C++.while c++
support all the features of C.
9. C NEEDS FORMAT CHARACTERS for printing & scanning.
-> C++ DOES NOT REQUIRED FORMAT SPECIFIER for printing and
scanning variable.
10. C variables are DECLARED in declaration section.
-> C++ variables are DECLARED any where in the program.
11. In C,we use PRINTF() ,SCANF() as standard input/output
functions.
-> In C++,we can use COUT<< or CIN>> as standard
input/output function.
12. In C,you can NOT OVERLOAD a function.
-> In C++ ,you can OVERLOAD the operator as well as
functions.
13. C does NOT have NAMESPACE for avoid name collisions.
-> c++ has NAMESPACE feature.
14.C does NOT have REFERENCE variables.
-> In C++ ,REFERENCE variables are USED in functions.
15. In C,constants are defined as 'MACROS'.
-> We can make a use of 'CONST' TO declare a constant.
16.In C program , the MAIN() should NOT RETURN a value.
-> In C++,MAIN() should RETURN a value.
17. C does NOT SUPPORT DEFAULT arguments.
-> C++ PROVIDES DEFAULT argument concept.

Answer C gives importance to procedure. That is functions rather 2 S.kannigaarasu
# 24 than data. The main function couldnot return a value. It is
dont support c++ programme.
C++ gives importance to object that is data. The main
function should return a value. It is support c programme.
