    C++

    Reading the title of this post, people wonder why it is in C section. The reason behind this is this question is for C programmers to answer.

    Here are a few quotes:
    C++ is a better C
    C++ is a superset of C
    C++ could do anything that C could

    My question is why people still use C. Why don't just use C++, as it is better etc..
    I know that there must be at least a reason. That is what i want to know.

    EDIT: I am posting it here because i know that C programmers should know better.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
