C/C++

C/C++ definition - computer

Refers to both C and C++ environments. Modern C compilers compile C and C++ source code. Although C++ has more rigid syntax and more options than C, the compiler recognizes which language the program is written in based on its file extension (.C for C and .CPP for C++) and applies the rules accordingly. See C and C++.
