Activity of Creating Reusable Functions

Lesson Details:

I: Introduction

Programming is a process through which human beings can create programs. The program is a set of instructions that are carried out by the computer to achieve a specific goal. It is important to note that without programming, computers would not function as they do now.

There are different types of programming languages that are used for different purposes. One of the most commonly used programming languages for writing computer programs is C++. It is also called as C with Classes. C++ is used for implementing complex tasks in the shortest time possible. It is an imperative language and comes with libraries of functions that help programmers reduce their workload.

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983. Its design was based on C language by Dennis Ritchie. Some features of C language were kept while the rest were removed because it was considered unnecessary for the new language. The primary reason why C++ was developed was to avoid the shortcomings of C language.

II: Body

C++ language has some advantages over other programming languages like Java, C#, etc. For instance, it is easier to code complex applications using C++. This is because it comes with libraries of reusable functions. Also, it is easier to debug programs written in C++ than those written in other programming languages like Java or C#.

III: Conclusion

Before learning more about C++ language, it is important to note some of its unique features. It is imperative and object-oriented. The programming language has been designed to improve the speed of executing programs. As a result, it can be used for implementing complex tasks from simple ones. In addition to this, it comes with good documentation and many good books.

In conclusion, it can be said that programming languages play a very important role in software development.
