C++

C++ is a widely used general-purpose, strongly typed, compiled programming language. C++ encompasses high-level features, such as objects and templates, as well as facilities for low-level memory manipulation. Due to its low-level features, C++ offers excellent performance, and is often used in performance-critical applications, such as drivers and embedded firmware. The high-level features of the language also makes it highly flexible, and its many uses include system software, client-server applications, and application software, such as video games.
