C++ is a specialized version of C, and programmers can perform most C programs in C++ with a few changes. C is a procedural language, but C++ lets you write both procedural and object-oriented code. As an object-oriented programming language, C++ has capabilities such as method overloading, frames, inheritance, virtual functions, and other activities. C does not have these properties. In C++, exception management is supported at the language level, whereas in C, exception management is done using the if-else method. In C++, references are supported, but not in C. In C, the input/output functions scanf() and printf() are utilized. Streams are used primarily for input and output operations in C++.
