You can practically compile the same C++ code in almost any type of computer and operating system without making changes. C++ is one of the most used and ported to different platforms programming language.
Brevity
Code written in C++ is very short in comparison with other languages, since the use of special characters is preferred before key words, saving effort (and prolonging the life of our keyboards).
Modular programming
An application’s body in C++ can be made up of several source code files that are compiled separately and then linked together. Saving time since it is not needed to recompile the complete application when making a single change but only the file that contains it. In addition, this characteristic allows to link C++ code produced in other languages like Assembler or C.
C Compatibility
Any code written in C can easily be included in a C++ program without making changes.
Speed
The resulting code from a C++ compilation is very efficient, due indeed to its duality as high-level and low-level language and to the reduced size of the language itself.

central processing unit (CPU) A type of computer system, e.g. IBM PCs and compatibles,
Macintosh computers.
to edit To start up a computer.
platform The smallest element of a display surface. It is white if
the bit is 0, and black if the bit is 1. In colour monitors,
it can represent various bits.
word processor The ‘brain’ of the computer. Its function is to execute
programs stored in the main memory by fetching their
instructions, examining them and then executing them
one after another.
pixel To make changes and corrections to text and graphics.
to boot An application that manipulates text and produces
documents suitable for printing.
