What are the Characteristics of C++?

As any programming language has its own features and functions C++ is no different. There are few Characteristics of C++ programming also, which supports the concept of object-oriented programming in short OOP’s. Just for your information, you can use the C source code in C++ that are already available in large quantities.

Let’s see what some of the characteristics of C++ programming are, you can also say that these are the core classification on which C++ programming can be defined:

• Data Abstraction
• Data Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism

Let us quickly see what the above keywords actually means shall we,

Data Abstraction

In simple words, it is the creation of different classes to describe the objects you use in your program.

Data Encapsulation

Encapsulation as you all know means to put something into a box in an encapsulated form. Same is in C++, data encapsulation means that the data is encapsulated into the segment of code for controlled access of it.

Inheritance

Inheritance as the name suggests inheriting someone’s quality. In C++ goes the same concept. Different derived classes are created.

Polymorphism

Polymorphism is a Greek word for Multiform. It means that the command or instructions can have different various effects during the course of the program run.

So now you have a clear picture of what are the characteristics of the language C++.
