C++ is another matter altogether, and provided programmers use the C++ features, code written in C++ is likely to be more reliable than equivalent code written by equivalently-capable C programmers.Seems like an odd thing to say, you make it sound like C & C++ are entirley different languages. C++ is C with some additional commands to make handling objects easier and a stricter compiler. C++ doesn't do strings in the same sense that C doesn't.
Not all valid C constructs are valid C++, and lots of C++ isn't in C.
C++ does have strings:
#include <string>
string Zonker("Harris"); // here's a string
/*
and now it's the compiler (and library) that has to keep track of Zonker's length, to worry about overflow etc.
*/
Zonker = "Zonker " + Zonker;
