So what can C++ do? What does everyone here use it for?
sometimes a more usefull C
Classes are nice
main reason:
MSVC++ has a nice setup and makes it "oh so much easier" to program.

MAPI app
Encryption
Tool development (to support game dev)
Tons of other types of apps.
Except for some web stuff, almost everything.

I don't know bout C++ but I am pretty sure that it can also do the same thing.
Apache was written in C
There are a bunch of network programs out there
in fact Windows (not completely confirmed) was written in C++
I, however, believe that C is better. Even though C++ has classes and neat new functions, I still think C is better, probably because I am linux user. But don't get me misunderstood, I use C++ quite often but I use C more.
I was referring to java applets type stuff.
I use it for all my 1337 H4x0R stuph codezQuote:

Programming
note: it is a known fact that the chosen programming language for hackers is C. However, C, in that sense, is quite difficult to use, and takes an elite programmer to master its skills.
Reason C is used:
Buffer Overflows, Open Source GLORY, All present day OS's were most likely written in C or C++. Linux is the hacker choice and is the C God system. C is a requirement for certain math Degrees. Most functionality. Developed by Bell Labs.
real reason: because BASIC was becoming too popular. Fortran was becoming too complicated and just "out-of-date".
Now for the reason it was developed:
People got bored.
what language do you think Java was written in?Quote:

I'd guess that most languages were written in Assembly which is a great language to learn in itself. I use assembly for windows programming, but for Game Boy Advance I use C.
