2. C++ is an expanded version of C.
Bjarne Stroutstrup first invented the C++ in 1980 at
Bell Laboratories.
He initially called as “C with Classes”.
However, in 1983 the name was changed to C++.

6. First C++ Program
// hello.cpp: displaying Hello World message
#include<iostream.h> //preprocessor directive statement
void main() // function declarator
{ //function block open brace
cout<< “Welcome to C++"; // output statement
} //function block close brace
the output will be
Welcome to C++

7. Comment Line
Preprocessor Directive
The preprocessor directive #include<iostream.h>
includes all the statements of the header file iostream.h.
 Function Declerator
void main()

8. Compilation Process
Command – Line Compilation
tcc filename.cpp (in the case of Turbo C++)
bcc filename.cpp (in the case of Borland C++)

9. Disadvantages of OOP
The run time cost of dynamic binding is the major
disadvantage
Compiler overhead
Runtime overhead
Requires the mastery over the following areas:
Software engineering
Programming methodologies
