C was created in the 1970s and is a high-level language for programming. It was initially used for UNIX programs however it is now used for most kinds of application writing. It is easy to use and read and is very memory efficient. C++ or C plus plus as it is pronounced is very similar to C but it contains features that are object-oriented and this means the programmer can also create objects in the coding. As a result C++ makes programming easier and many would say more pleasurable.
