    Study Notes

    Data Types & Variables

    • Fundamental types in C++ include Boolean, characters, integers, and floats.
    • Variables store data values that can change during program execution.

    Decision Making, Loops, & Function

    • C++ utilizes if statements and switch statements for decision-making.
    • if-else constructs allow execution of code based on boolean expressions.
    • switch statements provide a cleaner way to handle multiple conditions based on variable values.

    C++ Standard Library and Syntax for Competitive Programming

    • Key data structures include Vector, List, Deque, Stack, and Queue.
    • These structures provide efficient ways to manage collections of data essential for competitive programming tasks.

    Methods of Code Shortening in Competitive Programming

    • Types can be defined with typedef or using using to simplify syntax.
    • Macros are used for code-efficient definitions, reducing repetitive coding.

    Setting up a C++ CP Environment

    • An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is essential for coding in C++.
    • Popular IDEs include Code::Blocks, Visual Studio, or online compilers for easy setup and execution of code.

    C++ Features

    • C++ is known for simplicity, portability, and fast execution.
    • It supports dynamic memory allocation and recursion.
    • The language is case sensitive and follows object-oriented programming principles.
    • Rich libraries provide a wide range of functionalities for developers.

    Basic C++ Programming Example

    • The structure begins with including the necessary header files (#include <iostream>).
    • The main function serves as the entry point for program execution.
    • Standard input/output is managed with cout for displaying results.

    Operators in C++

    • Logical operators include AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!) to manipulate boolean values.
    • These operators are crucial for control flow and decision-making in programs.

    If Statement Example

    • if statement structure allows comparisons, e.g., comparing temperature to define actions.
    • Proper syntax must be used to avoid errors in condition checking and output display.

    Switch Statement Example

    • switch constructs provide a straightforward way to execute different blocks of code based on variable values.
    • Each case typically ends with a break statement to prevent fall-through, allowing controlled execution flow.

    Class Exercises

    • Exercise 1: Develop a program that evaluates age and provides employment eligibility based on set conditions.
    • Exercise 4: Implement a program that maps day numbers to the corresponding weekdays (1 for Monday through 7 for Sunday).
