C++ directly supports a variety of programming styles. In this, C++ deliberately differs from languages designed to support a single way of writing programs. This paper briefly presents key programming styles directly supported by C++ and argues that the support for multiple styles is one of its major strengths. The styles presented include: traditional C-style, concrete classes, abstract classes, traditional class hierarchies, abstract classes and class hierarchies, and generic programming. To provide a context for this overview, this paper discusses criteria for a reasonable and useful definition of ‘‘object-oriented programming.
