A very short definition is:  It is a programming language.  It is a superset
of the C [programming] language (hence the name C++).

For a long definition might I suggest "The C++ Programming Language" by
Bjarne Stroustrup (The founder of the language).  He does a much
better job explaining it than I could.

Hope this helps,
Jason
