Why C++ In this course, we will be using C++ as our language. Languages such as C# and Java are very powerful, but in order to make programming less error prone, they intentionally hide many complex issues that a computer scientist needs to understand.
As was the case in CS1400, this is not intended to be a thorough course in a specific programming language. In CS 1410, we will use C++ to illustrate the principles taught in the course. For an extensive treatment of C++, take CS 3370.
C# vs C++ Basic syntax is very nearly the same
C# vs C++ Some key differences * The class libraries are different * C++ is not pure object oriented * C++ compiles directly to machine code * C++ doesn’t hide much * C++ lets you make mistakes
