Hi guys, my dad wants to know this:
C has been around longer than C++, but he wants to know why they bothered creating C++, and in his reaoning, he would of added OOP to C, and kept C as the main game language and unix system code. What do you all think?
Personally, I think C++ was a good idea, as it is much more powerful and useful than C
Well, Bjarne Stroustrup has answered this in an FAQ: Why did you invent C++?
Tell your dad to do some research.
I actually found an online post of an interview with Bjarne Stroustrup, I can't find the link right now but I bet you can google for it. But he said in the interview that he only made up c++ because he wanted to make more money at the time. He would make more money because he wanted to try and make c++ harder to learn so everyone would focus on learning it while he would be making programs for companies.
That was a spoof interview, not a real one, get a grip!
Have you seen it? Cause it looked very legit. And his reasonings were reasonable.
