It is language that is most widely used in graphics development, gaming, etc. It the language that is used for programming of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) which is extensively used in computers and laptops for machine learning, video gaming, etc. C++ language underpins encapsulation,inheritance and polymorphism. Advantages and Disadvantages is C++ In C++ programming language, some functions take string as input. Examples include realpath(), syslog() and getopt(). When such functions are included with greater amount of input buffer, a buffer overflow attack can take place. Why do security issues arise in programming? Software security has become critical issue because increasing software application in almost every fields of life.   If the code is flawed code, it may result in a functional program but, it does not make it secure.
