what is the difference between c and c++?
C++ is object-oriented but C is not...C is a general programming language,C++ is an Object Oriented variant of C.... in c we use printf and scanf for input and output, in c++ we use cin and cout.......

[techvinny]

C++ would have most of the advantages of an object oriented model such as data abstraction, encapsulation, reusability - inheritance, etc. which the procedural languages like C lacks...

[shravansofts]

in c++ generics templates and overloading concepts are there.

[Nagaraj]

C is procedural language but c++ object oriented language.
c does not support virtual functions.
In case of C, the data is not secured while the data is secured(hidden) in C++.
C uses the top-down approach while C++ uses the bottom-up approach.
We can use functions inside structures in C++ but not in C.
The NAMESPACE feature in C++ is absent in case of C.
C++ allows the use of reference variables while C does not.
The standard input & output functions differ in the two languages

[amydecia]

c++ is more advanced than c language.
Actually c is a procedural programming language which
cann't face the real world problem. It has some drawback
like a global data is shared by all function and if in a
large program it is find out difficult that which function
uses which data.

On the other hand c++ is an object oriented programming
language which eliminate some pitfall of conventional or
procedural programming language. It is a concept or
approach for designing a new software. It is nothing to do
with any programming language although a programming
language which support the oops concept to make it easier
to implement.

This is the main different between c and c++.
