Abstract
Object-oriented programming, which came on the scene with Simula-67, is continuing to grow in popularity. C++, the object-oriented expansion of C, is one of the most used languages associated with object-oriented programming. Much of what is written about C++, however, is directed towards those already immersed in the object-oriented paradigm. Such writings often are not useful to C language instructors just beginning to work with C++ since there is a considerable learning curve for novices and experts alike. Readers who are C-literate are (1) presented with reasons to move to C++, (2) warned of potential hazards on the object-oriented path, and (3) provided with heuristics to make the transition from C to C++ easier.
