Hello,
I am little bit confuse for c and c++. All loops are same in both the languages so why they are different for each other?

Jump to PostC++ is the object-oriented version of C.
Jump to PostC++ is better C , it supports data encapsulation , inheritance , generic programming ,etc .

You should rather refer to some good book inorder to remove the elementary confusions.
C++ is an object-oriented version of C.
You can also call it as an enhanced version of C (just in regard to syntax and keywords) .
However, as far as coding style matters, only certain syntactic similarities remain - such as loops. Otherwise, C++ possesses a whole new concept of data encapsulation, inheritance, generic programming, etc., which C certainly doesnt provide.

Why is Perl different from C++? They both have a for loop with the same syntax.
1) Comparing the syntax of a single feature isn't a good way to compare languages.
2) C++ is designed to have a subset that's interchangeable with C. To a large extent, that design goal has been successful, which is why the loops in both languages are virtually identical in syntax and semantics.
>C++ is the object-oriented version of C.
That's a rather naive perspective. C++ is multi-paradigm, meaning it isn't just object oriented, or generic, or procedural, it's all of them, depending on your tastes and needs.

You are right. I just meant to emphasize on the prime and major use of C++, which i think is OO and generic programing.

Bolded for emphasis. Too often people state an opinion and word it as if it were a fact. Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes not, but it's nearly always misleading.

How would you explain it to some one who knows nothing about computers because i know the difference but I have to hand in a paper that asks us what the difference is and it says you have to make it so simple that a four year old can understand so anyone have any ideas on how to get an A.
Sorry for making a bigger question out of it.

That's probably exaggeration, but I would say that C++ is based on C with lots of extra stuff and a few changes.
