C++ development began in 1979 when Bjarne Stroustrup was working on his PhD thesis using the Simula language. He identified opportunities to incorporate object-oriented programming features into software development. Stroustrup started adding OOP features to the C language while maintaining C's core functionality. This resulted in C++, which included classes, inheritance, and other features to support OOP while keeping C compatible. C++ became popular as an extension of C that provided object-oriented capabilities.

3. •C++ Development started in 1979.
During the creation of Ph.D. thesis, Bjarne
Stroustrup worked with language called Simula
•Simula is basically useful for the simulation work.
•Simula was first language to support object-oriented
programming paradigm

4. •Bjarne Stroustrup identified that
this OOP features can be included
in the software development.
•After that Bjarne Stroustrup
started working on the C language
and added more extra OOP
features to the classic C.

5. •He added features in such a
fashion that the basic flavour of C
remains unaffected.
•C++ includes some add-on
features such as classes, basic
inheritance, in-lining, default
function arguments, and strong
type checking

7. •During 1970 Dennis Ritchie created
C Programming language.
•In the early 1980’s, also at Bell
Laboratories, another programming
language was created which was based
upon the C language.
•C++ is also called as C with classes

8. •Stroustrup states that the purpose of
C++ is to make writing good programs
easier and more pleasant for the
individual programmer.

9. •C++ programming language is
extension to C Language.
•In C we have already used
increment operator (++).
Therefore we called C++ as
“Incremented C” means Extension
to C.
