C is a language that was developed in the 70's to make it easier to code low-level applications while still using a high-level language. There was almost no wide-spread concept of object-oriented programming at the time, so C did not incorporate these capabilities. C++ was developed as a metalanguage to C so that it could add object oriented development to an already popular language. Classes were added to C as well as a number of other concepts (i.e.- inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, etc.). It was named C++ since "++" is an increment operator in C++ and C++ was seen as a definite increment on the C language set.
