1. C++ Revision Tour 1.1 INTRODUCTION :: The C++ programming language was developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories in the early 1980s by Bjarne Stroustrup. He found 'C' lacking for simulations and decided to extend the language by adding features from his favourite language, Simula 67. Simula 67 was one of the earliest object-oriented languages. Bjarne Stroustrup called it "C with classes" originally. The name C++ (Pronounced C plus plus) was coined by Rick Mascitti where "++" is the C increment operator. Ever since its birth, C++ evolved to cope with problems encountered by users, and through discussions at AT&T. However, the maturation of the C++ language was attested to by two events:  The formation of an ANSI (American National Standard institute) C++ committee  The publication of the Annotated C++ Reference Manual by Ellis and Stroustrup. The latest C++ standards document was issued by ANSI/ISO in year 2011 namely C++11 or formally C++0x . The m...
