Subject: GCC  vs G++

Hi,

I am using Linux. I am not still sure about the difference between g++
and gcc. Is g++ just a wrapper for gcc? I am not sure which one I should
use
for compiling my C++ codes?

gcc is the C front end for GNU compiler.
g++ is the C++ front end.  To a limited extent, each could invoke the other, according to source file suffix naming.  You need both to compile C++, but you use g++ as the command.
