Positive numbers need not be indicated by a plus sign, as any number without a negative sign is assumed to be positive (except 0). Therefore, the plus is assumed with C.
As for the latter half, there exists a C–, but not a C-. Which, in actuality, implies the existence of the aforementioned C+ (as was assumed), as 2 negatives makes a positive (despite the fact that C-- is a discrete language separate from C).
It’s also of note that a separate interpretation may be implied. ++ and -- are increment and decrement instructions within the C programming language, suggesting that C++ is an increment of C, whereas C-- is a decrement of it.
If it’s doubling each time wouldn’t this imply a forbidden C+? Maybe even a C- before that?
