I remember, back in the day, when object-oriented languages were becoming all the rage (and rightly so) there were murmurings about producing an OO version of COBOL.

The standing joke at the time was that this new OO COBOL should be called

ADD COBOL TO COBOL GIVING COBOL.

How we laughed, and laughed, and laughed until we realised that not one of us had a girlfriend. :-/

Interestingly, this question was asked to me in one of my on-campus placement interviews during my final year.

C has a postfix increment operator (++). The effect of applying the postfix increment operator is that the operand's value is increased by one unit of the appropriate type.

It is important to note that a postfix increment expression evaluates to the value of the expression prior to application of the operator. The increment operation occurs after the operand is evaluated.

Hope it helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup, C++ first made its appearance in 1985 and was considered as the best prodigy of C. Bjarne started working on the programming language while working at Bell Labs in 1979. He wanted to develop an extension to the C programming language that is both more efficient and flexible than the C.

C++ provides support for object-oriented programming. It offers a low level of abstraction and requires manual memory management.
