Study Notes
- C++'s cin is used for getting user input from the keyboard.
- cin utilizes the extraction operator (>>) for reading data.
- cout, its counterpart, is used for outputting values and is pronounced "see-out".
- Data types determine the size and nature of the information a variable can hold.
- A boolean data type stores true or false values and occupies 1 byte.
- char data type stores a single character or ASCII value, also occupying 1 byte.
- int data type stores whole numbers without decimals, available in sizes of 2 or 4 bytes.
- float data type accommodates fractional numbers with one or more decimals, taking up 4 bytes.
- double data type caters to larger fractional numbers containing one or more decimals, occupying 8 bytes.
- Learning about individual data types is covered in the upcoming chapters.
