    Conversion between C and C++

    What can C++ do that C can't and why no String Variables?
    Character arrays aren't that hard but that make variables a little bit more compilcated thanh tyhey should be.

    C is a simple language, simple is good. There's no need for a string data type in C so it was never added. C can do everything that C++ can, but they both do it in different ways. The general rule of thumb is to ignore that C++ was based off of C and just use them both.
