C++ is a general-purpose programming language and widely used nowadays for competitive programming. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features. C++ runs on lots of platform like Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, etc. Go is a procedural programming language. It was developed in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson at Google but launched in 2009 as an open-source programming language. Programs are assembled by using packages, for efficient management of dependencies. This language also supports environment adopting patterns alike to dynamic languages.

Go-vs-C++

Here are some of the differences between Golang and C++ language:

Go

C++

Go is a procedural and concurrent programming language. C++ is an object-oriented programming language.
Go does not contain classes with constructors and deconstructors. C++ does contain classes with constructors and deconstructors.
Go language provides automatic garbage collection for allocating memory. C++ language does not provide automatic garbage collection for allocating memory.
Go language contains pointers, but does not contain arithmetic pointer. C++ language contains both pointers as well as arithmetic pointers.
In Go language, map is passed by reference. In C++, map is passed by value.
It does not use header files. Instead of header file, go use packages. It uses import to import external packages. It contain header file and does not contain package.
It does not support implicit type conversion. It support implicit type conversion.
It does not support function overloading and also does not support user defined operators. It support function overloading and also support user defined operators.
It does not support const or volatile qualifiers. It supports const and volatile qualifiers.
It provides nil for invalid pointers. It provides NULL or 0 or nullptr for invalid pointers
Go use panic and recover for resolving error. C++ use try, catch, and throw for resolving error.
It does not have while or do-while statements. But for loop can be used like a while loop. It have while or do-while statements.
It is more strong typed as comparison to C++ language. It is less strong typed as compare to Go language.
Go contains goroutines and channel. C++ has threads.
Go does not support inheritance. But it provides an alternative in the form of Embedding. C++ supports inheritance.

They are also known as Decision-Making Statements and are used to evaluate one or more conditions and make the decision whether to execute a set of statements or not. These decision-making sta 11 min read C++ Data Types All variables use data type during declaration to restrict the type of data to be stored. Therefore, we can say that data types are used to tell the variables the type of data they can store. Whenever a variable is defined in C++, the compiler allocates some memory for that variable based on the data type with which it is declared. Every data type 11 min read Convert String to int in C++ Converting a string to int is one of the most frequently encountered tasks in C++. As both string and int are not in the same object hierarchy, we cannot perform implicit or explicit type casting as we can do in case of double to int or float to int conversion. Conversion is mostly done so that we can convert numbers that are stored as strings. Exa 8 min read std::sort() in C++ STL std::sort() is an STL function that is used to sort the given range in desired order. It provides a simple and efficient way to sort the data in C++ but it only works on data structure which have random access to its elements such as vectors and arrays. It is defined inside <algorithm> header file.

The key value is used to uniquely identify the element and the mapped value is the content associated with the key. Both key and value can be of any type predefined or user-defined. In simple terms, an unordered_map is like a d 7 min read Priority Queue in C++ Standard Template Library (STL) A C++ priority queue is a type of container adapter, specifically designed such that the first element of the queue is either the greatest or the smallest of all elements in the queue, and elements are in non-increasing or non-decreasing order (hence we can see that each element of the queue has a priority {fixed order}).

C++ Operator OverloadingC++ has 9 min read Templates in C++ with Examples A template is a simple yet very powerful tool in C++. The simple idea is to pass the data type as a parameter so that we don't need to write the same code for different data types. For example, a software company may need to sort() for different data types. Rather than writing and maintaining multiple codes, we can write one sort() and pass the dat 10 min read Friend Class and Function in C++ A friend class can access private and protected members of other classes in which it is declared as a friend. It is sometimes useful to allow a particular class to access private and protected members of other classes. For example, a LinkedList class may be allowed to access private members of Node. We can declare a friend class in C++ by using the 6 min read Constructors in C++ Constructor in C++ is a special method that is invoked automatically at the time an object of a class is created. It is used to initialize the data members of new objects generally. The constructor in C++ has the same name as the class or structure.
