Open CPP File

The CPP extension file is a source code file created in the C++ programming language.

What is the C++ programming language?

C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or as it is also known, "C with classes".

It should be noted that C++ became a standard that has been adopted by all commercial IDEs that make use of this language.

The C++ programming language adds object-oriented programming features to the C language.

The CPP file (CPP stands for C Plus Plus) can contain normal C++ program code, or it can be a makefile.

In any case, the CPP file is used to develop program code and compile C++ programs.

The name 'main.cpp' is the most common and used name for the main() function of a C++ program, where the program starts executing.

It is important to note that code written in C++ in a CPP file is not supported by C compilers.
