When C++ was created

When it was created and why it was created?

This C++ programming language was created by Bjarne Stroustrup and his team in 1979 at the Bell Laboratories of New Jersey. 

Now when this language was created, they didn't directly call it as C++ Instead they called it as C with classes During the 1970 C programming language was one of the most used and the most popular programming language and even to this day, a C programming language is one of the most famous programming languages.But C programming language has its own limitations. year by year the computational capacity of the computers increased and also the programming complexity increased.

Now the problem with C programming language was as the programming complexity increased and the programs tend to become larger, it was difficult to manage and write the code using the C language for those complex computational task. So Bjarne Stroustrup and his team they started working on the C programming language they added a lot of features, the main feature they added was the object-oriented programming features and then they created this new language called as C with classes Now here this class it is actually a part of the object-oriented programming.

This object-oriented programming is an entirely different programming approach from the programming approach used in the C language.and here the object-oriented programming features which was added to this C with classes was mainly influenced by another object-oriented programming language which was existing during that time called as the simul 67 now this new language C with classes you know it had the features from two great programming languages you know it had the features from the C programming language and also it had some features from the similar 67.now the new language which was created in which is the C with classes was a better choice for writing the programs where the programmers have to perform some Complex programming operations.

And after that in 1983 they renamed this C with classes with C++ Now hear the interesting thing is this ++ it is actually an operator from the C language and this (++) is an increment operator and here since this new language is an incremental or the next step of the C language you know they named it as C++.
