Programming language (C versus C++)

[crisdavid]

C is a structured programming language, which emphasizes on functions with least security over data.

To overcome this problem, concept of object orientation was introduced in the form of C++. It provides high security to its data through the concept referred as Encapsulation.

In this method, data is accessible through a pre-defined method or member-function. To access a particular data, the user should know which method it refers to. This entire method is achieved via objects.

True, but at the same time C++ is not pure Object oriented program. It has the flexibilities of making programs without making any object. Unlike Java where main function has to be inside the object, here main program has to be written outside the object. Thus inspite having the facility of objects people can write simple programs also obvisouly with some care!!!
