C is a general purpose Programming Language. C has proven to be a powerful, and versatile language for a wide variety of programs. Many of the modern languages like C++, Visual C++, Java, JavaScript, etc. are based on C Language. Therefore, not knowing this Language is considered to be a handicap. The fundamental types are characters, and integers and floating-point numbers of several sizes. Pointers provide for machine independent address arithmetic.

C++ is an Object Oriented Programming Language that is powerful, efficient and compact. It includes concepts like Polymorphism, Dynamic Binding, Data hiding, Operator encapsulation and inheritance, which are to be observed in C. User defined objects (instances) can be reused with and without modifications to generate new application. This reduces coding to greater extents.
