Study Notes
Basic C++ Elements
- C++ programs have a basic structure:
- Preprocessor directives (e.g.,
#include <iostream>) - Global declarations (variables)
-
int main()function (entry point) - Local declarations (variables within
main()) - Statements (instructions)
- Comments (explained or described; ignored by the compiler)
- Preprocessor directives (e.g.,
Comments
- Single-line comments:
//followed by text on the same line - Multi-line comments:
/*text*/
Preprocessor Directives
- Start with
#symbol - e.g.,
#include <iostream>,#include <cmath>,#define - Directives are processed before compilation
Using Directives
-
using namespace std;(tells compiler to use elements from the standard C++ library)
Functions
-
int main(): entry point of execution - Functions have a return type (e.g.,
int,double) - Functions have parameters (inputs) indicated by their names
- Functions process tasks using statements within curly braces
{} - Return a value to the operating system (
return 0;) to indicate normal program completion.
Global/Local Scope
- Identifiers (variables, constants) have scope within the part of the program where they are defined
- Local identifiers only work within a function (or block of code)
- Global identifiers are available anywhere in the program after definition.
Character Set
- Numbers (0-9)
- Alphabets (a-z, A-Z), _ (underscore)
- Special characters (e.g.,
+,-,*,/,=,!,?,$, etc.) - Spaces (blanks/tabs/line breaks)
Tokens
- Keywords (e.g.,
int,float,const,using,return) - Identifiers (user-defined names for variables)
- Operators (e.g.,
+,-,*,/) - Punctuators (e.g.,
;,(,),[,],{,}) - String literals (
"text")
Reserved Words
- Have special meanings in C++, and cannot be used for other purposes.
- All lowercase letters and case-sensitive.
- (e.g.,
int,float,const,while,for,if,else
Identifiers
- Names for variables, constants, and functions.
- Can use letters, numbers, and underscores, but must start with a letter or underscore.
- Capitalization matters (e.g.,
myVariableis different frommyvariable). - Cannot be a reserved word.
Constants
- Store values that are not intended to change during program execution.
- Defined using
constkeyword -
#definepreprocessor directive to define symbolic constants
Variables
- Store values, and these values can change during program execution.
- Must be declared before using them, specifying the type
- Use lowercase for variable names (e.g.,
userName).
###Data Types
-
int: integers (short,int,long) -
float,double,long double: floating-point numbers -
char: single characters -
bool: boolean (true/false) -
void: no value at all (for functions returning nothing)
Input/Output
-
cin: reads input from the console -
cout: displays output to the console -
endl: inserts a new line into output -
setw: sets the width of output fields -
setprecision: specifies number of decimal places
Operators
- Arithmetic (
+,-,*,/,%) - Relational (
>,<,>=,<=,==,!=) - Logical (
&&,||,!) - Assignment (
=,+=,-=,*=,/=,%=); - Increment/Decrement (
++,--)
Escape Sequences(Output)
- Escape sequences to display special characters like "\n" (new line) or "" (backslash).
Operator Precedence
- The order in which operators are evaluated, important for complex expressions
