 * Think everything as objects. For example, if you write a control program for a plane, you should create a class called Plane and create functions inside it.

			== Thinking in C++ ==

			If you are previously a C programmer and have decided to switch to C++, you should throw away some C concepts and get used to the C++/OO way of doing things:

			* C programmers tend to write lots of global functions. If these functions needs an object to work, you should made them member functions of a class.
			* You should group similar functions working with different types in a template.
			* C programmers usually prefix their identifiers to prevent name conflict. However, this is not necessary in C++ as they can be put in a namespace.
			* There are usually lots of pointers and type casts in C. However, you should use less pointers in favour of references and less type casts in favour of derived classes.
			* Think everything as objects. For example, if you write a control program for a plane, you should create a class called Plane and create functions inside it.

			== Differences ==

			* C++ uses new and delete operators for memory management while C uses library functions.
			* C++ extends structs and unions, and also includes classes.
			* C++ has templates while C does not.
			* C++ has operator and function overloading.
			* C++ has different requirements for type conversions and alternative type conversion semantics.
			* typedef creates unique types in C++, and creates type aliasing in C.
