Study Notes
Expression and Interactivity
cinobject: Used to read data typed at the keyboard. This allows the user to input data into a program, making it more dynamic.- Mathematical Expressions: C++ allows for complex expressions using multiple operators and grouping symbols.
- Type Casting: Allows for manual data type conversion. This is useful when a program needs to convert data from one type to another.
- Multiple Assignment: Assigning a value to multiple variables simultaneously (e.g.,
a = b = c = 12;). The assignment occurs from right to left. - Combined Assignment Operators: Shorthand for expressions like
number = number + 1;(e.g.,number += 1;). These operators provide a concise way to perform calculations and updates. - Working with Characters and Strings: While
cin >>can read strings, it ignores leading whitespace. Usegetline()to read entire lines, including whitespace. It's essential to account for potential spaces. For reading a single character, usecin >>directly.
Mathematical Expressions
- Operator Precedence: Operators have a specific order of evaluation (e.g., multiplication before addition). Expressions are evaluated from left to right, except where operators have differing precedence. Parentheses can change the order.
- Associativity: Operators with the same precedence are evaluated left-to-right, or right-to-left (depending on the operator). This is useful to understand how an expression will be evaluated.
