C++ is an extension of C language. C++ programming language is complex, but strongly preferred in today’s IT sector. You will come across some part of its codebase in generally every system or program. It is the first language developers interested in programming start with. You can learn it with ease as it is purely a concept-based language. The syntax is uncomplicated, so you can easily replicate its writing. Its use is regarded as a safe language due to its valuable features and security. People learn C++ because of several reasons –

• Popularity & chances of high salary jobs
• Wide library support
• Used in today’s databases like MySQL, MemSQL, etc. 
• All operating systems have C and C++ languages [Windows, Android, Linux, etc.].
• Used in compilers as backend programming language [GNU Compiler Collection or GCC].
• Firefox, Safari, and Chrome are popular web browsers that contain C++ because it gives the needed speed to display content.
• Due to the C++ speed factor, it is included in graphics.
• In embedded systems like GPS systems, Smartwatches, etc.
• It is portable and easily moved across multiple platforms.
