What are the advantages of using C++ over C?

C++ supports polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance because it is an object oriented programming language. C is (mostly) a subset of C++. For the development of code, C supports procedural programming. C++ is known as hybrid language because C++ supports both procedural and object oriented programming paradigms.

What is the basic difference between C and C++?

C++ provides few other things that C++ provides but C does not like; C++ supports both pointers and reference variables while C supports only pointers. In C, we can have only one type of data types, i.e., built-in datatypes. On the other hand, C++ supports both built-in as well as user-defined data types.

What type of language is C?

C is a middle-level programming language that binds the gap between machine level languages and high-level programming language. It was mainly designed for writing operating system kernels. Hence, it has been designed as a procedural language, which means it follows a top-down compilation approach.
