Bjarne Stroustrup is one of the most popular and richest Computer who was born on December 30, 1950 in Aarhus, Central Denmark Region, Denmark.
He attended Aarhus University 1969–1975 and graduated with a master’s degree in mathematics and computer science. His interests focused on microprogramming and machine architecture. He learned the fundamentals of object-oriented programming from its inventor, Kristen Nygaard, who frequently visited Aarhus.
Stroustrup is best known for his work on C++. In 1979, he began developing C++ (initially called “C with Classes”). In his own words, he “invented C++, wrote its early definitions, and produced its first implementation […] chose and formulated the design criteria for C++, designed all its major facilities, and was responsible for the processing of extension proposals in the C++ standards committee.” C++ was made generally available in 1985. For non-commercial use, the source code of the compiler and the foundation libraries was the cost of shipping (US$75); this was before everyone had Internet access. Stroustrup also published a textbook for the language in 1985, The C++ Programming Language.
