g++

I have recently installed ubuntu 14.04 in virtual box. Now I want to install g++ 4.7 in it. I am trying this command in terminal but its not working.

sudo apt-get install g++-4.7

Reading package list... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done 
E: Unable to locate package g++-4.7
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'g++-4.7'

But I find gcc was there with Ubuntu 14.04 installation itself.

How could I install g++ in ubuntu 14.04 and any version of g++ abouve 4.7.2 is fine with me.
