C++ ( Tutorial I )

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.
