C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language that is viewed by many as the best language
for creating large-scale applications. C++ is a superset of the C language.
A related programming language, Java, is based
on C++ but optimized for the distribution of program objects in a network such as the Internet.
Java is somewhat simpler and easier to learn than C++ and has characteristics that give it other
advantages over C++. However, both languages require a considerable amount of study.
