What is cpp good for

My friends always say "learn CPP it's the bomb I made a awesome game with it " or "dude CPP rocks in game development" but what else can CPP do I know it's used in apps sometimes and is the root of near all modern programming languages but what was it designed for.

What is it good for? Pretty much anything. It allows large applications to run on slow devices, slow applications run on normal devices, working with very large numerical operations, anything that needs speed. It is a great language that can also teach you about what the computer is actually doing. What was it made for? Its original purpose was to be object oriented C. In fact, its original name was “C with Classes”. This is why so many people say that C++ is a superset of C, and while that was true in the 80s and 90s, both languages have evolved and become very different with very similar syntax and capabilities.
