1. C follows the procedural programming paradigm while C++
is a multi-paradigm language(procedural as well as object
oriented)
In case of C, importance is given to the steps or
procedure of the program while C++ focuses on the data
rather than the process.
Also, it is easier to implement/edit the code in case of
C++ for the same reason.
2. In case of C, the data is not secured while the data is
secured(hidden) in C++
This difference is due to specific OOP features like
Data Hiding which are not present in C.
3. C is a low-level language while C++ is a middle-level
language (Relatively, Please see the discussion at the end
of the post)
C is regarded as a low-level language(difficult
interpretation & less user friendly) while C++ has features
of both low-level(concentration on whats going on in the
machine hardware) & high-level languages(concentration on
the program itself) & hence is regarded as a middle-level
language.
4. C uses the top-down approach while C++ uses the bottom-up
approach
In case of C, the program is formulated step by step,
each step is processed into detail while in C++, the base
elements are first formulated which then are linked together
to give rise to larger systems.
5. C is function-driven while C++ is object-driven
Functions are the building blocks of a C program while
objects are building blocks of a C++ program.
6. C++ supports function overloading while C does not
Overloading means two functions having the same name in
the same program. This can be done only in C++ with the help
of Polymorphism(an OOP feature)
7. We can use functions inside structures in C++ but not in C.
In case of C++, functions can be used inside a structure
while structures cannot contain functions in C.
