gcc-c++ is the package containing the c++ compiler.  You may
also want other accompanying tools.  For that, you can
install the c-development package group with:

    sudo dnf groupinstall c-development

If you're searching for a command, you can often find it
using the 'dnf provides' command:

    $ sudo dnf provides c++

The 'dnf search' command is also handy.
