''The correct name for this language is "C++". "C plus plus" is in use until htaccses is fixed.''
C++ is named after the C language, from which it is derived. C++ extends C into becoming an [[object-oriented language]]. However, unlike other object-oriented languages, it doesn't try to force you into [[object-oriented programming]], but is a multi-paradigm language. Besides conventional procedural programming and object-oriented programming, it also supports generic programming.
The ++ in C++ is some what of an inside joke, in that C++ is C with a Post Increment operator attached, thus C++ is C + 1.
