My friend will not stop going on about it as if he knows how to himself... i just want to shut him up and maybe further my knowledge on computers so if anyone could sum it up in a short sentence/paragraph or link me to a site that would be much appreciated.

Default C/C++?

Unix/Linux were originally written in C

C evolved into C++

C++ morphed into Java

M$ spited Java and developed C#

All 4 languages share a basic structure but there is little to choose between Java and C# now, except Java is open and is used on many web servers. Not sure if C# is used in anything!

C evolved because its basic structure was terse and it had some highly insecure features which are the cause of most viruses and trojans in software. For instance you could make an array have length 100 but then access element 2008!

C++ is the language almost all modern programs are written in. It's fast, it's relatively low-level (no bloat like Java), and it's well-suited for object-oriented.

Unfortunately it takes a casual, cooperative approach to OOP. OOP isn't mandatory, in other words, but you can if you want.
