It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features. C++ is a widely popular language among coders for its efficiency, high speed, and dynamic memory utilization. It runs on various platform like Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac etc.

2. PHP :
PHP is a server-side scripting language used mainly for web development. It can be easily embedded in HTML files and HTML codes can also be written in a PHP file. The thing that differentiates PHP with client-side language like HTML is, PHP codes are executed on the server whereas HTML codes are directly rendered on the browser.
PHP
<?php
echo "Welcome to GFG!" ;
?>
