For what type of applications you use c++?

Question

why would you prefer C++ over any other language available for same purpose.

Answer 1

C++ interfaces directly with hardware, and allow precise control over memory management. Also it is also very fast at execution time (C is faster, but does not support OOP).

Answer 2

On a large project the legacy code and availability of skills in a team is most of the time far more important than the actual merit of a specific language.
