why C++ is C++ why not ++C or C--etc.????

Answer 1

Because the language 'c' was first used and then got upgraded (incremented) that's why C++.😝

Answer 2

because c plus plus pronounces good and if we spell plus plus c it would've been very awkward and c minus minus? lets not even talk abt it lol

Answer 3

C++ as a language was thought of being an increment to the C programming language as C++ is a valid statement that increments the variable C.
Why postincrement (C++) was chosen over preincrement (++C) I'm not sure. I would assume, as Suhail said, it's easier to understand.

Answer 4

C++ is an extension to C programming and the integration of Simula language to it. Hence the name C++

Answer 5

Actually, there is C--, seperately with C++. also I think there is --C-=C-C--? (but lets not talk about it, minus minus C minus equals C minus C minus minus? no way.)
