Why is C++ so complex?

1) They thought C++ was difficult, started learning other “simple” language and find it difficult to learn C++ thereafter. C++ was my first language, so I mastered it early on. You do not have to use all high-level concepts in C++. You can easily start writing simple algorithms as easily as in any other language.

What does complex mean in C++?

The definition of class complex overloads the standard input, output, arithmetic, comparison, and assignment operators of C++, as well as the standard names of the exponential, logarithm, power, square root, and trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, and hyperbolic cosine). …

Why does C++ change so much?

One of the reasons why C++ specs are getting larger and larger is that the language is backward compatible. So the committee usually introduces new features, but rarely remove the old stuff. So… your code can still compile.

Why is C++ so verbose?

In languages like C++ “verbose” means “specific and obvious” which is something you want to have when writing certain kinds of code. A lot of C++ verbosity comes simply from bad defaults. Const and virtual should be the default for example, not the other way around.

Is complex a data type in C++?

Since C++ is newer that C, it has included the complex datatype since it was first standardized, and doesn’t need to resort to the underscored version.

Is complex a keyword in C?

ISO C99 introduces support for complex numbers in C. This is done with a new type qualifier, complex . It is a keyword if and only if complex. There are three complex types, corresponding to the three real types: float complex , double complex , and long double complex .

Why is C++ hated?

C++ is complex, often unnecessarily so. There are reasons for this, most having to do with being backwards compatible with C and with older versions of itself. The complexity does make it an ugly language though, for those who judge beauty by elegance. People dislike it because of that.

Is C++ overly complicated?

Most of the time C++ is not more complicated than java or something. Sadly this is lost on most people. C++ may be the most complex language out there but you can write very good code without caring about the specific.
