C++ provides mutable state
(allows signal handling (strictly speaking it's even provided, but only in a very rudimentary way, so de facto you need an extra library anyway)) |

However, unlike other object-oriented languages, it doesn't try to force you into [[object-oriented programming]], but is a multi-[[:Category:Programming Paradigms|paradigm]] language. Besides conventional [[procedural programming]] and object-oriented programming, it also supports [[generic programming]].

The ++ in C++ is some what of an inside joke, in that C++ is C with a Post Increment operator attached, thus C++ is C + 1; however, this interpretation has the flaw that post-increment increments the value ''after'' returning the value, so the post-increment expression still evaluates to the value before the increment.
