# Benefits of C++ The primary reason to prefer C++ over C is **code reuse**. Thanks to templates, it is much easier to implement generic piece of code that can be reused between projects in C++ than in C. When implementing everything from scratch, then probably using C++ instead of C won't give any significant advantage in terms of development effort, maybe even extend it. However, once generic components have been developed, the whole development process for next projects will be much easier and faster, thanks to reuse of the former. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://alex-robenko.gitbook.io/bare_metal_cpp/benefits.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
