What is C++ programming language?

C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language,

developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language.

therefore possible to code C++ in a C style or object-oriented style.

In certain scenarios, it can be coded in either way and is thus an effective example of a hybrid language.

C++ is considered to be an intermediate-level language, as it encapsulates both high- and low-level language features.

Initially, the language was called 'C with classes' as it had all the properties of the C language with an additional concept of classes.

However, it was renamed C++ in 1983.

It is pronounced 'see-plus-plus'.

What is SQL ?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data in them. Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used by database administrators, as well as by developers writing data integration scripts and data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries. The uses of SQL include modifying database table and index structures; adding, updating and deleting rows of data; and retrieving subsets of information from within a database for transaction processing and analytics applications.  Queries and other SQL operations take the form of commands written as statements -- commonly used SQL statements include select, add, insert, update, delete, create, alter and truncate. _________________________
