C++

C++ is a powerful language that helps build fast and high-performance software. It is great for
making games, designing computer graphics, and building systems like operating systems (e.g.,

Windows). It supports both old-style (procedural) and modern (object-oriented) programming. C++
gives programmers a lot of control, but it also requires careful handling, especially when working with
memory.
