Is C++ exactly the same syntax & keywords as C, with addition of OOP features? Or are there differences in syntax & keywords?

C++ how similar to C?

despite C++ being derived from C, they both differ @Jay, most C++ compilers support C so you can use C syntax within the C++ program. it all depends on the various header files that you use.

They work in a similar way. for C printf("hello world"); for C++ cout<<"hello world"; The keywords may be different, but C++ is defived from C.
