💡 Activity – Solutions

1️⃣ Give three reasons to start with C++.

• Cross-platform and high-performance.
  
• Teaches both procedural + OOP programming styles.
• Builds core fundamentals, making other languages easy to learn.

2️⃣ Name five domains where C++ is used .

•  Operating systems
• Web browsers
• Game engines
• Enterprise / banking systems
• Embedded & medical systems
• Databases, IDEs, graphics tools (e.g., Maya), and cloud computing.

3️⃣ What paradigms does C++ support, and why does that matter when compared to Java?

•  C++ supports Procedural + Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
• Java is OOP-only, so C++ provides a broader foundation for beginners.

4️⃣ Why “Learn C++ not C” for beginners?

• Same learning effort, but C++ is a superset of C.
• Covers more paradigms and teaches stronger concepts.

5️⃣ Explain two performance reasons C++ is chosen for infrastructure (libraries / cloud / banking).

• Closer to hardware for faster execution and better memory control.
• Supports multithreading and concurrency for scalable, high-performance systems.

6️⃣ True or False: “C++ is outdated.”

Explain your answer.

❌ False.
C++ is still widely used in performance-critical systems (OS, finance, cloud, graphics, and gaming).
