Basically C++ adds extra syntax extensions on to C. It's an
evolutionary thing. So, basically anything you can do in C is valid C
++, but not ideal. C++ adds ways to do things that are easier.

C:

char bigstring[7];
sprintf(bigstring, "%s%s", "foo", "bar");

C++:

std::string bigstring;
bigstring = "foo";
bigstring += "bar";
