Hi,

There are many versions of C and C++ built by many different companies.
So, which version :

1. more easier to learn
2. more easier to remember
3. more easier to debug
4. helps me find errors fast and professionally
5. more portable
6. has the biggest community
7. has more tutorials widely available
8. has its source code all over the internet
9. and so on

If C++ is an extension of C then why isnt it called the new version of C instead of having a different name ?
And, why isnt it called C+ instead of C++ ?
Was there ever a C+ ?
Who created the C++ and why couldnt they give a different name instead of copying the name from C ?
Anything else I should know ?
