ACTE's C programming course is for everyone who wants to learn and move their career towards the programming and IT field. With this course, you can develop an object-oriented and logical perspective to solve any bug or write any program. To gain these skills you need to Begin with C and C++ programming.
C is the general purpose programming language In common, ‘C’ is the very first step of the journey of the IT field whereas ‘C++’ is an extended object-oriented programming language a second step of the IT field journey which has simple, modern and general purpose programming language characteristics. Today many browsers, app, games are using C language. The main concepts of C is the syntax, loop, variable, pointer, operators, loop, more.
It is true that you can use almost any language at the back-end, for instance, Google uses C++, Java and Python (along with Go). For low-level data processing, C++ fits the best, for background jobs like updating user's friend recommendations, Java is a good option. C++ allows procedural programming for intensive functions of CPU and provide control over hardware, which it is widely used in developing different games or in gaming engines. C++ mainly used in developing the suites of a game tool.
Future of C and C++, Not only it is a fundamental language but its permissive nature allows the user to manage program memory as it offers the feature of dynamic memory allocation which makes it much faster than any other language. Today, every computer literate person is aware of the term “C/C++ Programming”. Scope of Variables in C++ In general, the scope defined as the extent up to which something can worked with. In programming also the scope of a variable defined as the extent of the program code within which the variable can we accessed, declared, or worked with it.
The Demand for C/C++ in the Market But, it is also important to note that most of the developers know how to code in C and C++. It is the minimum requirement for any programmer to know C/C++ programming to hire. Hence, it is safe to say that C/C++ is the prerequisite of all other languages. In conclusion, C++ in 2020 will continue to remain in high demand owing to its performance, reliability, and the wide variety of contexts in which it can used.
We are happy and proud to say that we have strong relationship with over 700+ small, mid-sized and MNCs. Many of these companies have openings in C & C++. Moreover, we have a very active placement cell that provides 100% placement assistance to our students. The cell also contributes by training students in mock interviews and discussions even after the course completion.
Yes, it is a bright field; there are bright prospects and various avenues in C and C++ programming for candidates with extensive knowledge. If you are not aware of the career in C/C++ Programming, then you have come to the right place. It is also important to note that most of the developers know how to code in C and C++. It is the minimum requirement for any programmer to know C/C++ programming to hire. In India, the pay scale of a C and C++ programmer varies from two lakhs per annum to 30 lakhs per annum. For a novice, who simply did a 2-3 months certification course of C programming is likely to hired by a small-scale organization.
As we know both C and C++ are programming languages and used for application development. The main difference between both these languages is C is a procedural programming language and does not support classes and objects, while C++ is a combination of both procedural and object-oriented programming languages. C and C++ share a similar syntax, this is the aspect of both languages that are most similar. ... This is why it said that C++ is a “superset” of C. Yet remember, this similarity is in syntax only. C is an imperative programming language, whereas C++ is an object-oriented programming language.
Obsoletely, it is based upon a Student, It take an average person to learn all the fundamentals of the C & C++ language. You will get the Syntax of the language quickly (2–3 months with no experience) assuming you have no experience with programming: You are learning 2–4 hours per day 5 days per week.
Our courseware is designed to give a hands-on approach to the students in C & C++. The course is made up of theoretical classes that teach the basics of each module followed by high-intensity practical sessions reflecting the current challenges and needs of the industry that will demand the students’ time and commitment.
Yes, it is a good language to learn because it doesn't hide anything from you and because so many other languages use a similar syntax. In addition, it has some object-oriented design that can help you get ready to take on other languages. C++ is going to be the most effective on big projects when there is many data to manage. ... Moreover, when you will master C++, it will be super easy for you to jump into Java, C# and pretty much most of similar languages. Many of them inherit many functions from C++ so it is definitely useful to learn it.
Future of C and C++ Not only it is a fundamental language but also its permissive nature allows the user to manage program memory as it offers the feature of dynamic memory allocation, which makes it much faster than any other language. Today, every computer literate person is aware of the term “C/C++ Programming”. It has a good future and is a sound investment and often C++ engineers are good at other languages as well, I generally picked up mobile development faster than the specialist Java programmers (true story).... People who major in C++ and competitive programming tend to pick up new technologies faster.

It Is OK, If You Do not Know C++!.
WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP LEARNING C/C++
Many programmers are frustrated with and leaning away toward the C/C++ programming languages because of the following reasons:
(1) Very steep learning curve..
Many people joined the programming world by learning C or C++, but it’s rare for them to keep learning and mastering these two languages well because they get frustrated in handling the low-level programming elements such as pointers, the memory storage model, address alignment, templates expansion, multi-thread data races, and so on. If these elements are not handled properly, the app will have a high probability of crashing, which will frustrate the new programmer.
(2) Rarely used in modern application development
Nowadays we have many advanced programming languages like Java, C#, Python, Javascript, Go, etc for application development and it seems insane if someone wanted to develop a Web application or backend service in pure C/C++. The common application areas have been taken over by more advanced programming languages such as:
- Web front-end development: Javascript/Typescript rule everything and the three popular frameworks in frontend are Angular, React, and Vue.
- Web back-end service development: Javascript (Node), Python (Flask, Django), Java, and PHP are the popular technologies used.
- Desktop application development: QT (PyQT, C++), Electron (Javascript), WPF (C#).
- Mobile application development: iOS (Objective-C, Swift), Android (Java).
- Distributed systems, Big Data, Cloud Computing: Java, Go, Groovy, Scala.
- Data science, AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning): Python.
It looks like C/C++ are rarely used in these modern application development areas. So why should we still learn C/C++.
Here are 5 reasons why you should:
1. Master other advanced programming languages faster.
Almost all other modern programming languages and popular libraries are built by C/C++. Here are some typical examples:
- Java: The core of Java Virtual Machine hotspot is implemented in C++.
- Python: The Python interpreter is implemented in C.
- Javascript: The most popular Javascript engine V8 is implemented in C++.
- Numpy: One of the most popular scientific libraries in Python and it is widely used in AI and ML, but its core module is implemented in C.
If you just remember the syntax of a programming language or can use the common libraries well, it doesn’t mean you truly mastered the programming language. Knowing the theory behind the languages can help you develop applications in the language more efficiently, which then means you truly mastered the language. But the prerequisite for all of that is you have to know C/C++ well.
2. Bring performance.
- When programming in the advanced programming languages, we mainly focus on the implementation of functionalities. We usually use guidelines of best practice to avoid silly mistakes but it is not nearly enough when you need to gain better performance.
- Better performance requires careful profiling and analysis to find out which code are the performance hot spot and how to rewrite them in a more efficient way.
- If you know C/C++ enough, then it will aide you in gaining a better performance because you know how these advanced programming languages run at its lowest level.
- You will be able to discover the issue faster which may be performance decay, the expensive CPU instructions, the cache miss, the tradeoff of context switching, or something else.
3. Understand the fundamental computer theories well.
- Computer networks, operating systems, computer architecture, and compiler theories are four of the most important fundamental computer theories and almost all of our new techniques are built based on these four.
- If you are just programming in the advanced programming languages, these machine-level details are usually hidden from you. But these techniques are really important if you want to jump out of the existing frameworks and develop something more.
- For example, when the network status is unstable and you need a reliable connection you would not solve the issue with TCP because TCP brings a large latency due to its large retransmission timeout. So how should you do it?
- If you understand a computer network well, you can build your own reliable protocol with more aggressive and efficient retransmission schemes.
- You would then need to integrate it into the network’s SDK and you may need to know how the network protocols are implemented in the Operating System.
- Your implementation should be efficient so you have to know the computer architecture well too such as using the CPU cache, memory, and network adaptors effectively.
- Finally, if you want to provide API interfaces for other advanced languages, like Python, Javascript etc, you need to know how the language binding works and compiler theories helps with that.
- Most importantly, all these key techniques are based on C/C++.
4. C/C++ powers the world
- C/C++ is everywhere. In particular, they power more technologies than we give it credit for.
- Most operating system kernels are written in C, including but not limited to Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android and so on.
- Modern browsers are also written in C/C++. like Chrome, Firefox etc.
- Modern game engines are written in C/C++, like Unity3D, Unreal Engine, cocos2d-x etc.
- As mentioned above, programming languages compilers and interpreters are implemented in C/C++ too.
- According to the TIOBE Index for March 2018, C/C++ are still the most popular languages. So don’t hesitate to keep learning these two languages that are still powering the world.
