FEATURES OF C++

                  Some of the important features of C++ language are:
                      Object-Oriented  Programming:  C++  focuses  on objects rather  than just step-by-step
                      instructions. Objects are real-world entities that contain both data (variables) and functions

                      (methods) that operate on the data. This makes programming more structured, reusable, and
                      easier to manage.
                      Example: If we create a program for a car, we can make a Car object that contains properties
                      (like colour, speed) and functions (like start, stop).

                      Platform Independent: C++ is a platform-independent language, meaning that a program
                      written in C++ can run on different operating systems with little or no modification. If a
                      program is written and compiled on Windows, it can also run on Linux, MacOS, or other
                      operating systems, as long as a compatible C++ compiler is available.
                      Simple and Popular: C++ is a simple and popular programming language because it is easy
                      to learn and widely used in various fields like gaming, software development, and robotics.
                      Its syntax is very easy to understand.
                      High-Level Language: C++ is a high-level programming language, which means it is easy
                      to read and understand, just like English. Unlike low-level languages that use numbers and
                      symbols, C++ uses simple words and rules, making it easier for beginners to learn.

                      Case-Sensitive: C++ is a case-sensitive language,  which means it treats  uppercase  and
                      lowercase letters as different. For example, the words “pay” and “PAY” are not the same in
                      C++. The computer sees them as two different words.
                      Compiler-Based: C++ is a compiler-based language, which means the computer translates
                      the whole program into machine language before running it. This makes C++ faster compared
                      to many other programming languages. For example, when you write a C++ program, it
                      goes through a compiler, which checks and converts it into a language that the computer
                      understands (0s and 1s).

                     STARTING TURBO C++

                  Turbo C++ is a software used for writing, compiling, and running C++ programs. It allows users
                  to write and edit code using an editor, check for errors using a compiler, and find and fix mistakes
                  using a debugger. Perform the following steps to start Turbo C++:

                  Step 1    Click on the Start button or press the
                            Windows key on your keyboard.
                  Step 2    In the search bar, type Turbo C++ and
                            press Enter.

                  Step 3    Click  on the  Turbo C++ application
                            from  the  search  results.  The  DOSBox
                            window will open.
                  Step 4    In the  DOSBox  window,  click on the
                                                                                       DOSBox window
                            Start Turbo C++ button.
