C Introduction
C is a high-level structured oriented programming language, used in general purpose programming, developed by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell labs, USA between 1969 and 1973.

Some Facts About C Programming Language
In 1988, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has formalized the C language.
C was invented to write UNIX operating system.
C is a successor of ‘Basic Combined Programming Language’ (BCPL) called B language.
Linux OS, PHP and MySQL is written in C.
C has been written in assembly language.
Uses of C Programming Language
In the beginning C was used for developing system applications e.g. :

Database Systems
Language Interpreters
Compilers and Assemblers
Operating Systems
Network Drivers
Word Processors
C has Become Very Popular for Various Reasons
One of the early programming languages.
Still the best programming language to learn quickly.
C language is reliable, simple and easy to use.
C language is a structured language.
Modern programming concepts are based on C.
It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
Universities preferred to add C programming in their courseware.
Features of C Programming Language
C is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators.
Programs written in C are efficient and fast.
C is highly portable, programs once written in C can be run on another machines with minor or no modification.
C is basically a collection of C library functions, we can also create our own function and add it to the C library.
C is easily extensible.
Advantages of C
C is the building block for many other programming languages.
Programs written in C are highly portable.
Several standard functions are there (like in-built) that can be used to develop programs.
C programs are basically collections of C library functions, and it’s also easy to add own functions in to the C library.
The modular structure makes code debugging, maintenance and testing easier.
Disadvantages of C
C does not provide Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
There is no concepts of Namespace in C.
C does not provide binding or wrapping up of data in a single unit.

C does not provide Constructor and Destructor.

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
