C is a structured programming language.<\/td>\nC++ is an object oriented programming language.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
C language is not in solving the real time problem.<\/td>\nC++ works well in solving real time problem.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Polymorphism<\/a>\u00a0is not possible.<\/td>\nPolymorphism is used in C++.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In C,\u00a0malloc()\u00a0and\u00a0calloc()\u00a0Functions are used for
\nMemory Allocation\u00a0<\/a>and free() function
\nfor memory Deallocating.<\/td>\n		C++,\u00a0new and delete operators<\/a>\u00a0are used for Memory Allocating and Deallocating.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Operator overloading is not possible in C.<\/td>\nOperator overloading<\/a>\u00a0is one of the greatest Feature of C++.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
No namespace Feature is present in C Language.<\/td>\nNamespace<\/a>\u00a0Feature is present in C++ for avoiding Name collision.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
