C++ is a statically typed, compiled, general-purpose, case-sensitive, irregular programming language that supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming and generic programming.
C++ is considered a mid-level language that combines the features of high-level and low-level languages.
C++ was designed and developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. C++ further extended and improved the C language, originally named C with classes and later renamed C++ in 1983.
C++ is a superset of C. In fact, any legal C program is a legal C++ program.
C++ loop syntax
Sometimes, the same block of code may need to be executed multiple times. Normally, statements are executed sequentially: the first statement in the function is executed first, followed by the second statement, and so on.
Programming languages provide a variety of control structures that allow more complex execution paths.
C++ loop example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main (){
for( ; ; )
{
printf("This loop will run forever.\n"); }
return 0;}
