C is a general-purpose procedural language created by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1972. It is the foundation of operating systems (Unix, Linux), embedded firmware, and runtime environments. C gives direct memory control through pointers and malloc/free.
C++ is a superset of C created by Bjarne Stroustrup, adding classes, the STL (vector, map, unordered_set), lambdas, smart pointers, and modern features up to C++23. Used in game engines, browsers, and high-frequency trading.
