Embedded C++ is a specialized programming language used for developing software that runs on a microcontroller or other embedded systems. It differs from standard C++ in that it has specific features and limitations aimed at working with resource-constrained devices. Developing in Embedded C++ requires a strong understanding of hardware and software interactions, and often involves low-level programming, interrupts, and memory handling. It is an important skill for developers creating products in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.
