CHARACTERISTICS OF C++ LANGUAGE

• C++ has a rich collection of standard class libraries, inbuilt functions and datatypes which helps in creating large and complex programs very easily.
• C++ is an extension of C with Object Oriented (OO) features, It provides upward compatibility with C language as almost all the valid C programs are valid C++ programs.
• The program written in C++ is well suited for modelling real world problems as close as possible to the users perspective.
• In C++, complex data types called Abstract Data Types (ADTs) can be created using classes. 
• C++ allows the programmer to redefine the meaning of existing operators such as +,-,>. Forexample: the '+' operator can be used for adding two numbers as well as to concatenate two strings.
• C++ programs can easily be extended as it is very easy to add new features into the existing program.
• New programs can be developed in lesser time as the existing code can be reused.
• C++ provides a namespace control mechanism for restricting the scope of classes, functions and global objects.
