C++ Support for OOP

C++ supports object-oriented programming in ways that C does not.

• C++ includes C as a subset, so you can do everything in C++ that you can do in C, and more.

• C++ is a safer language than C because it has stronger type rules, which make it difficult to manipulate variables of a given type using anything other than operations defined for that type.

• C++ allows function names to be overloaded (a form of polymorphism), so two operations on different types can have the same name, and yet the parameter type ensures there is no ambiguity.

• C++ includes classes, which directly supports OOP in C++. New classes can be derived from existing classes (a form of inheritance), creating a hierarchy of related types that can share code and interface.
