To what I have picked up so far microcontrollers are coded in c++ is this the case for every mcu?
Thanks
No. A large number use C, some use a dialect of Basic, and there are other specialty languages. For the most part, the Arduino family gets along pretty well with C/C++.
Sort of. Also, sort of not. The controllers themselves use machine language. The IDE used to program them converts your code into this machine language. This is why I said "sort of" instead of "yes" or "no." You type your code into the IDE using C++. However, some controllers use other languages in their respective IDEs. For example, the BASIC Stamp (Parallax) uses the BASIC language.

Pcbs are not 'coded' at all. (it was in the old thread title)

Right ok thanks do both have the same functions?

would it be the same using a bootloader?
Thanks
Download the AVR datasheet for detailed information.
The OP asked for the time and we tell him how to build a clock. Since the question was asked on an Arduino Forum, I would assume he was concerned with the language used in this environment. To clarify my answer: For the Arduino family using the Arduino IDE, C and C++ are the most popular languages used here.
