# C++ C++ (also C卐卐 or crippled C) is an [object-obsessed](oop.md) [joke](jokes.md) language based on [C](c.md) to which it adds only [capitalist](capitalist_software.md) features and [bloat](bloat.md), most notably [object obsession](oop.md). Most good programmers such as [Richard Stallman](rms.md) and [Linus Torvalds](linus_torvalds.md) agree that C++ is hilariously messy and also tragic in that it actually succeeded to become mainstream. The language creator [Bjarne Stroustrup](stroustrup.md) himself infamously admitted the language sucks but laughs at its critics because it became successful anyway -- indeed, in a retarded society only [shit](shit.md) can succeed. As someone once said, "C++ is not an increment, it is excrement". C++ specification has **over 2000 pages** :D C++ source code files have the extensions `.cpp` or `.cc` (for "crippled C"). ## Examples Here is our standardized **[divisor tree](divisor_tree.md)** program in C++: ``` #include // include standard I/O library using namespace std; // recursive function, prints divisor tree of x void printDivisorTree(unsigned int x) { int a = -1, b = -1; for (unsigned int i = 2; i <= x / 2; ++i) // find two closest divisors if (x % i == 0) { a = i; b = x / i; if (b <= a) break; } cout << '('; if (a > 1) { printDivisorTree(a); cout << ' ' << x << ' '; printDivisorTree(b); } else cout << x; cout << ')'; } int main() { while (1) // main loop, read numbers from the user { unsigned int number; cout << "enter a number: " << flush; cin >> number; if (!cin.fail() && number < 1000) { printDivisorTree(number); cout << endl; } else break; } return 0; } ```
