what is the exceptional quality of C++

[chitrank]

Is it the free structured or object oriented programming criteria or anything else

damn these lame questions.... no offense.


But, i guess i would have to put it like this, Google it!

[tummychow]

It's the combination of OO and structured, plus the sheer platform customization with APIs, plus the high portability of code.
And probably some other stuff.
I second brokenbot. Google first/

IMHO, it's the fact that C++ code is compiled for a specific hardware platform making it run inherently faster and more efficiently (since it doesn't require a runtime engine) but at the expense of portability.

I always thought that type safety and the ability to model user defined types (rather than just objects) was something special.
