    Study Notes

    C++ Programming Basics

    • In C++, all elements of the standard library are declared within the std namespace.
    • A namespace is a logical container for grouping unique entities (blocks).
    • Every C++ program MUST have a function named main.
    • The body of a function starts with an opening brace ({) and ends with a closing brace (}).
    • Each instruction in C++ must end with a semicolon (;).
    • The cout object is used to display output on the screen.
    • Strings (text) in C++ are enclosed in double quotes (").
    • The return statement ends function execution.
    • Returning a zero value from main indicates that the program executed successfully.

    Data Types and Variables

    • Comments are for human readers and are ignored by the compiler.
      • They are used to explain code functionality, variables, functions, authorship, and development dates.
      • Single-line comments start with //.
      • Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */.
    • Reserved Words (Keywords) are words that have special meaning in C++ and cannot be used as variable names.
      • Examples include: int, float, double, char, const, void, return.
    • Variables are containers that store the results of C++ operations, allowing them to be used in other operations.
    • Variable Identifiers are names for variables.
      • They consist of letters, digits, and underscores (_).
      • They must start with a letter or an underscore.
      • C++ is case-sensitive, meaning NUMBER and number are different.
      • cout and cin are two predefined identifiers. You can technically redefine them, but it is generally not recommended.
    • Variable Declaration is how a variable is created.
      • It defines the variable's name and type.
      • The format is: type variableName; (for example: int myVariable;)
      • You can declare multiple variables of the same type with commas: int variable1, variable2, variable3;
    • Variable Assignment is how a variable is given an initial value.
      • The assignment operator = is used.
      • Examples:
        • Counter = 1; (assigns 1 to the variable Counter)
        • Result = 100 + 200; (assigns the result of the sum to the variable Result)
        • X = X + 1; (increments the value of X by 1)
    • Data Types define the kind of values a variable can hold and the operations that can be performed on them.
    • Simple Data Types are basic data types that represent fundamental values:
      • Integral (integers, whole numbers): char, short, int, long, bool.
      • Floating-Point (decimal numbers): float, double.
      • Enumeration Type: User-defined data type used to create a set of named constants.
    • Integral Data Types categorize integers:
      • char: single character (e.g., 'A', 'a', '0', '*', '+', '$', '&', ' ').
      • short: small integer values.
      • int: standard integer values.
      • long: large integer values.
      • bool: logical values (either true or false).
      • unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long: versions of the integral types that allow only non-negative values (0 or positive).
    • int Data Type can represent positive or negative integers, without decimals.
      • Examples: -6728, 0, 78, +763.
    • bool Data Type represents logical (Boolean) values:
      • true or false.
    • char Data Type is used for single characters, including letters, digits, and special symbols.
      • Each character is enclosed in single quotes (e.g., 'A', '*').
      • A blank space is considered a character (' ').
      • char is the smallest integral type.
    • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a standard coding system used almost universally.
      • It assigns numerical values to characters (0 to 255), allowing computers to represent and process text.
      • Each character has a unique ASCII code.
      • The ASCII table displays these character codes.
    • UNICODE is a newer coding system that expands ASCII.
      • It supports a much wider range of characters, including those used in various languages around the world.
    • ASCII Table is a standardized representation of ASCII codes where each character corresponds to a specific number.
    • char values are int values, meaning you can assign integer values to variables of type char.
    • Floating-Point Types represent decimal numbers:
      • float can handle a wide range of numbers but has lower precision than double.
      • double provides more precise representations of decimal numbers.
    • float Precision: Limited to 6 or 7 significant digits.
    • double Precision: Up to 15 significant digits.
    • Scientific Notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers:
      • 3000000003E8
      • 6.62607 X 10-346.62607E-34
    • Conversion Between int and float:
      • You can always convert an integer (int) to a floating-point number (float) without losing accuracy.
      • Converting a floating-point number to an integer can result in loss of precision.
    • string Data Type is used for sequences of characters.
      • It can be empty, containing no characters (null).
      • Each character within a string has a position (starting from 0).
      • The string's length is the number of characters it contains.
      • Example: string x = “Hello World20 ?”; // length is 15 characters.
