C better than C++? (POLL)
Is C better than C++
Pro's of C:
Faster, more compatible with platforms, faster, not owned by Microsoft, was the US national Standard Programming Language, and free compilers (gcc).
Con: Not owned by Microsoft, not very object oriented, memory efficiency becomes a problem, cross-platform development through compilation is EXTREMELY difficult.

Oh Joy....another opportunity for this discussion :)

Not really......some instances when using virtual functions.....but it depends largely on the compiler. There arent many situations where the speed is that critical......if you are programming games....why would you be really interested in virtual functions?
Those features that might slow things down are to make the structure of programming easier and they enforce the OOP principals of C++.
It all translates to the same op code........just depends how the job is done

No...that again would depend on the compiler.....and there arent many platforms that I know of without a C++ compiler
Is there an echo in here?

Neither is c++!!!
