C and C++ are two common languages used for writing programs and getting suitable desired outputs. They are both strongly typed and, like most other languages in widespread use, imperative.

C is a raw procedural language developed in 1969 to operate on UNIX systems; see the related link for an extensive history. It makes use of structures (simple groups of named values), functions, pre-processor macros, and pointers to memory addresses. It includes some built-in functions known as its standard library. The language, along with its libraries, was originally standardized in 1989 and again in 1999.

C++, begun in 1979 and standardized in 1998, is a step above C and intended to improve the language with object-oriented features such as classes, inheritance, polymorphism, etc. It is a super set of C, meaning that most C source is perfectly valid as C++. It is easier than C because of its extra features, but it is also much more complex and learning all its features is a major accomplishment. More Windows applications are written in C++ than C, but if either one provides a DLL file the other can talk to the first.
