Study Notes
C++ Program Structure
- A C++ program consists of a preprocessor directive, namespace specification, main function, and block statements.
- The preprocessor directive
#includeis used to include external libraries.
Namespace Specification
- The
using namespace std;statement specifies which namespace to use. - The
stdnamespace is the standard namespace in C++.
Main Function
- The
mainfunction is the entry point of a C++ program. - The
int main()statement begins themainfunction.
Block Statements
- The
{character begins a block of statements. - The block of statements is included in the
mainfunction.
Output Statement
- The
coutobject is used to output data to the screen. -
coutstatements are used to display output in a C++ program.
