Outlines
đ Introduction to C++ Programming Language
The video script introduces the C++ programming language with a focus on absolute beginners. It explains that no prior programming experience is required but having some knowledge can be beneficial. The script outlines the purpose of the video series, which is to educate about C++, its creation, and its history. It defines what a computer program is and the role of a programmer, emphasizing the importance of programming languages in instructing computers. C++ is presented as one among many programming languages available, such as C, C#, Java, PHP, and Python. The script also delves into the creation of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup and his team at Bell Laboratories in 1979, initially named 'C with classes' due to its object-oriented programming features, which were influenced by the Simula 67 language. The limitations of the C language and the need for a language that could handle complex computational tasks better led to the development of C++. The renaming to C++ in 1983 signifies its evolution from the C language.
đ Engaging with the C++ Video Series
In the second paragraph, the script encourages viewer interaction by asking them to like the video if they find it helpful and to leave comments with their opinions. It also suggests sharing the video with friends who might benefit from it. The speaker invites viewers to subscribe to the channel for more tutorials on C++ and programming in general. The paragraph concludes with a thank you note to the viewers for watching and an anticipation of the next tutorial in the series.

Introduction to the C++ programming language video tutorial series for absolute beginners.
No prior programming experience is required to start learning C++.
C++ is a programming language used to write computer programs or instructions.
A computer requires instructions from a programmer to perform tasks.
C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup and his team in 1979 at Bell Laboratories.
Initially, C++ was referred to as 'C with classes', highlighting its object-oriented features.
C programming language was popular but had limitations in handling complex programming tasks.
C++ was designed to address the limitations of C, especially with larger and more complex programs.
The object-oriented programming features in C++ were influenced by the Simula 67 language.
C++ combined features from both C and Simula 67 to offer a more powerful programming approach.
C++ was renamed from 'C with classes' in 1983, symbolizing an advancement over the C language.
The name 'C++' uses the increment operator from C, signifying it as the next step in C language evolution.
C++ is suitable for complex programming operations where traditional C language falls short.
The video encourages viewers to like, comment, and share if they find it helpful.
Subscribers can expect more C++ tutorials in the series.
The video concludes with a thank you and an anticipation for the next tutorial.
Transcripts
Hi this is Anil from LearningLad and welcome to the very first video tutorial on C plus
plus programming language.
With this video we are starting a brand new video series on C++ programming language and
this video series is specially designed for the absolute beginners.
you don't need any programming experience to get started but if you happen to have some
programming knowledge then it will definitely help.
All right, now in this video we will see you what exactly is C plus plus and when it was
created why it was created?
You know a bit information about the history of the C++.
so first of all what exactly is C plus plus?
Now all of you know that a computer is an electronic device that can perform many computational
task.
But since it is a machine, these computer's they really can't do anything on their own.
so to get any job done using the computer we need to give instructions to this computer
and according to our instructions, these computer will work.
These instructions which are given to this computer are called as the âProgramâ and
the person who is going to write these instructions or who is going to give this instructions
is called as a ââProgrammerâ
Now the language in which these instructions are written or these programs are written
is called as the âProgramming Languageâ.
So here the programmer will use any of the programming language available and write the
computer program or the instructions and according to this program the computer will work.
So here cplusplus is one of the programming language that can be used to write the computer
programs.
There are a lot of programming languages available.
for example we have C, we have C Sharp, we have Java, we have PHP, we have Python.
You know a lot of programming languages are available and C plus plus is one of the programming
language.
All Right.
Now the next thing is why this C++ was created and when it was created?
This C plus plus programming language was created by âBjarne Stroustrupâ and his
team in 1979 at the bell Laboratories of New Jersey.
now when this language was created, they didn't directly called it as âC plus plusâ
Instead they called it as âC with classesâ
During the 1970âs C programming language was one of the most used and the most popular
programming language and even to this day C programming language is one of the most
famous programming language.
But C programming language has its own limitations.
year by year the computational capacity of the computers increased and also the programming
complexity increased.
Now the problem with C programming language was as the programming complexity increased
and the programs tend to become larger, it was difficult to manage and write the code
using the C language for those complex computational task.
so Bjarne Strostroup and his team they started working on the C programming language they
added a lot of features, the main feature they added was the object oriented programming
features and then they created this new language called as âC with classesâ
Now here this â class â it is actually a part of the object oriented programming.
This object oriented programming is an entirely different programming approach from the programming
approach used in the C language.
and here the object oriented programming features which was added to this âC with classesâ
was mainly influenced by another object oriented programming language which was existing during
that time called as the simula 67
now this new language âC with classesâ you know it had the features from two great
programming languages you know it had the features from the C programming language and
also it had some features from the similar 67.
now the new language which was created in which is the âC with classesâ was a better
choice for writing the programs where the programmers have to perform some Complex programming
operations.
And after that in 1983 they renamed this âC with classesâ with âC++â
Now hear the interesting thing is this ++ it is actually an operator from the C language
and this ++ is an increment operator and here since this new language is an incrementation
or the next step of the C language you know they named it as C++.
so this is it guys this is about some information about what exactly is cplusplus and about
its history
now if you like this video then give a Thumbs up if you don't like it then give a thumbs
down and write your opinion in the comment box and if you think that this video will
help any of your friends then do share this video.

you for watching and I'll see you next tutorial.
