main
Match the following C++ components with their purposes:
#include directive = Specify the namespace to use using namespace std; = Specify the library to include int main() = Define the entry point of the program cout object = Output data to the screen
Match the following C++ elements with their functions:
char data type = Store integer values bool data type = Store true or false values string class = Store string values Arithmetic operators = Perform mathematical operations
Match the following C++ components with their uses:
Comment = Ignore a line of code Function = Group a set of statements together Namespace = Specify a scope for identifiers Literal = Represent a fixed value
Match the following C++ concepts with their definitions:
Scope = Region of the program where a variable is accessible Initialization = Assign a value to a variable when declared Assignment = Change the value of a variable Identifier = Name of a variable, function, or label
Match the following C++ data types with their characteristics:
Integer data type = Stores whole numbers Floating-point data type = Stores decimal numbers char data type = Stores character values bool data type = Stores true or false values
Match the following C++ components with their purposes:
// symbol = Declare a comment main function = Define the entry point of the program cout object = Output data to the screen using namespace std; = Specify the standard namespace
Match the following C++ concepts with their definitions:
Comment = Statement ignored by the compiler Variable = Named storage location Literal = Fixed value represented in code Function = Block of code that performs a task
Study Notes
C++ Program Structure
- A C++ program consists of a comment, preprocessor directive, namespace, and function named main.
Preprocessor Directive
-
#includeis a preprocessor directive that tells the compiler to include a file.
Namespace
-
using namespace std;specifies which namespace to use.
Main Function
-
int main()is the beginning of the function named main. - The
{symbol marks the beginning of the block for main.
Output Statement
-
coutis used to output data.
