A notable difference from standard C is that C++ does not allow implicit casting from `void` pointers to a typed pointer, requiring an explicit cast instead. Common file extensions for C++ code are .cpp (C with poop) and .cc (crippled C). @@ -23,3 +23,7 @@ int main() return 0; } ``` + +## See Also +- [C](c.md) +- [Bloat](bloat.md)
