Such manipulations are handled by the Control Unit, the Arithmetic Logic Unit and Temporary Storage.<br /><br />Storage: the means by which information can be "permanently" saved (until such time as you wish to delete it). This usually occurs on a hard drive, a diskette or a CD.<br /><br />Output: the displaying of information - for our purposes this will be accomplished when your program displays information on the monitor or printed on paper.</span><br /> </div> </div>

Programming in C++ , A Brief History

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="text-align: -webkit-center;">A Brief History of C++</b><span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> </span></span></span></h3> <div align="left"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> In the early 1970s, Dennis Ritchie of Bell Laboratories was engaged in a project to develop a new operating system.  Ritchie discovered that in order to accomplish his task he needed the use of a programming language that was concise and that produced compact and speedy programs. This need led Ritchie to develop the programming language called C.</span></div> <div align="left"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">     In the early 1980's, also at Bell Laboratories, another programming language was created which was based upon the C language.  This new language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup and was called C++.  Stroustrup states that the purpose of C++ is to make writing good programs easier and more pleasant for the individual programmer.  When he designed C++, he added OOP (Object Oriented Programming) features to C without significantly changing the C component.  Thus C++ is a "relative" (called a superset) of C, meaning that any valid C program is also a valid C++ program.</span></div> <div align="left"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">     There are several versions of the C++ language, of which Visual C++ is only one.  Other dialects include Borland C++, Turbo C++, and Code Warrior (Mac).  All of these software packages enable you to create computer programs with C++, but they all implement the C++ language in a slightly different manner.  In an attempt to maintain portability of both the C and C++ languages, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) developed a standard of consistency for C and C++ programming.  While we will be working primarily with this ANSI standard, we will also be examining the idiosyncrasies of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.</span></div> </div>
