C is command language, around since 1970, very powerfull very easy to move the other
processors , highly influencal to other languages.
C++ is the object orientated version on C, the diffference is basic that the C manual is a few pages, while C++ manul is a few thousand pages.
shell scripting:
totaly diffent stuff, you can use any command installed on you computer; since it is an interpreter 'Language' error may appear later, very powerfull most time used as 'glue' between programms.
Most shell support stuff like loops and controllstructures.
perl is called 'shell on steroids'
