C++ evolved from C, which evolved from two precious programming languages, BCPL and B. C++ is superset of C. Today, most operating systems are written in C and/or C++. C++ provides for object-oriented programming.
Bjarne Stroustrup
The programming language of C++ was designed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Laboratories in early 1980s .
From early 1980s through the early 1990s, Several C++ compilers were available. The fundamental features of C++in all compilers were mostly the same. The standard C++ was an evolving in slightly different ways in different compilers. As a consequence, C++ program were not always portable from one compiler to another.
To address this problem, in the early 1990s, A joint committee of the American National Standard Institution (ANSI) and International Standard Organization (ISO) was established to standardized the syntax of C++.
History of C++
In mid-1998 C++ language standards were approved. Most of today’s compilers comply with these new standards.
In 2003 Committee respond to multiple problems reported with their C++98. Then they change the language was dubbed C++03.
In 2005 Committee released a report dubbed TR1 detailing various features they were planning to add the latest C++ standard.
In 2011 The new C++ standard C++11 was published.
