- The syntax of C++ is based on the syntax of C. The C++ language
- contains many features that are extensions of C. On the other
- hand, C++ also omits some features that are relatively minor and
- arguably not desirable capabilities of C. C++ inherits the
- flexibility and conciseness of C. The compatibility with C is such
- that most C programs can compile and run in C++ with no
- modifications. Indeed, C++ is sometimes referred to as "a better
- C".
