If C++ is an extension of C then why isn�t it called the new version of C instead of having a different name ?
And, why isn�t it called C+ instead of C++ ?
Was there ever a C+ ?
Who created the C++ and why couldn�t they give a different name instead of copying the name from C ?

c++ is an extension of C ,correct. C++ was first named "c with classes" , but then they( i guess bjarne stroutstroup-creator of c++) made it as c++ . "++" is the famous unary increment operator used in most of the programming langauges. So C++ accounts for the "next version of" C language
