Comparing C language vs C++ Language

[Jacky E.]

I'm attending a computer course, then I have an assignment regarding what
are the differences in term SYNTAX between the two language. I haven't learn
C language, I directly learn C++.

So, can anybody explain about it or point me the relevant web site..?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

You gotta be kidding! Suffice it to say that ISO C has 26 (28 in C99)
keywords and ISO C++ has 63 (+ 11 alternative representations for
operators). Besides, many C++ constructs, e.g., templates can be divided
into sub categories such as class templates, function templates,
explicit template instantiation, partial specialization etc., each of
which uses a specific syntactic formulation. You can look at the C++
standard for the BNF of each construct or read Stroustrup's book for a
complete description of C++ syntax. As for C, simply run a search on
every major search engine for "C99" and look for the draft standard
document.

Bjarne Stroustrup covers this in Appendix B of "The C++ Programming Language,
Third Edition."
