C and C++ difference

[kartik21]

what is the difference between C and C++ Compiler...i don't think there is any difference but if it has please tell me...

[Banfa]

A C compiler compiles source files written in C

A C++ compiler compiles source files written in C++


There is a sub-set of the 2 languages C and C++ that is understood by both compilers, it is therefore possible to write code that can be compiled as C or C++ if you really wanted to. However most people don't bother, they either write in C and compile in C or write in C++ and compile in C++ in some cases using both languages in the same project (although right at this moment I can't think of a good reason for doing that).

If there is no difference between the two it is quite silly to give that one and only
language two different names. Please read your literature first before you post
questions like this.

kind regards,

There are some compilers out there (such as gcc) that are capable of compiling either C or C++. Which language to use is either selected explicitly via a command line switch or implicitly from the file extension of the source file. In that case there is no difference between the C and C++ compiler.

As the earlier posters indicated, there are definitely differences between the C and C++ languages.

Which were you asking about?
