Difference between C and C++

1. C programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie in the year 1972
2. C++ programming language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the year 1983
3. C++ is a superset of C and contains all the features of C language

Still there are some difference between C and C++ which are shown in tabular form -

Diff No	C	C++
1	C is a structural or procedural programming language.	C++ is an object oriented programming language.
2	Emphasis is on procedure or steps to solve any problem.	Emphasis is on objects rather than procedure.
3	Functions are the fundamental building blocks.	Objects are the fundamental building blocks.
4	In C, the data is not secured.	Data is hidden and can’t be accessed by external functions.
5	C follows top down approach.	C++ follows bottom up approach
6	C uses scanf() and printf() function for standard input and output.	C++ uses cin>> and cout<< for standard input and output.
7	Variables must be defined at the beginning in the function.	Variables can be defined anywhere in the function.
8	In C, namespace feature is absent.	In C++, namespace feature is present.
9	C is a middle level language.	C++ is a high level language.
10	Programs are divided into modules and functions.	Programs are divided into classes and functions.
11	C doesn’t support exception handling directly. Can be done by using some other functions.	C++ supports exception handling. Done by using try and catch block.
12	Features like function overloading and operator overloading is not present.	C++ supports function overloading and operator overloading.
13	C program file is saved with .C extension.	C++ program file is saved with .CPP extension.
