> Why would one need C++ if it's converted to C anyway? > C++ is useful for programmers that believe in object oriented methodologies. Some things are easier to do in C++ as well. It all depends on the programmer. You seem to favor assembly languages. I've found that many people into assembly never seem to get OO and therefore languages like C++ and Java make no sense to them. Assembly *can be* fast but its not portable. C was created to make unix portable. C++ was created to add OO features to C.
