Study Notes
Computer Fundamentals and Programming - Module 2: Declaring Variables
- Objectives: Students will identify and explain data types in C++. They will learn how to declare variables in C++, including syntax. Students will understand variable scope (local vs. global) and its impact on program accessibility. Students will apply declared variables in calculations and expressions.
Comments
- Importance: Comments are crucial in programming, improving code readability and maintainability. They explain code functionality, provide notes for programmers, and temporarily disable code during debugging in C++.
Single-Line Comments
-
Syntax: Single-line comments begin with
//. Everything that follows//on the same line is disregarded by the compiler.
Multi-Line Comments
-
Syntax: Multi-line comments start with
/*and end with*/. These comments can span multiple lines, useful for lengthy explanations.
Variables
-
Definition: A variable is a named storage location in memory that holds a value.
-
Declaration in C++: C++ Variables must be declared before use specifying its type and name.
Common Data Types
-
Integer: Stores whole numbers (e.g.,
int age = 25;). -
Floating-Point: Stores numbers with decimal points (e.g.,
float price = 19.99f;,double distance = 12345.6789;).floatis single precision,doubleis double precision. -
Character: Stores a single character (e.g.,
char initial = 'A';). -
Boolean: Stores truth values (
trueorfalse) (e.g.,bool isStudent = true;).
cout
-
Definition:
coutis a C++ object used for displaying data to the console. It's part of theiostreamlibrary. -
Syntax:
cout << expression;. The<<is the stream insertion operator directing output to thecoutstream.
Common Uses of cout
- Displays text (strings enclosed in double quotes).
- Displays variable values.
- Combines text and variables in a single output statement.
Arithmetic Operators
-
Types: C++ uses operators for mathematical actions on variables and values. Common operators include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%).
-
Modulus: The remainder after division.
Examples
-
Specific examples of declaring integer, float, and character variables were provided in the slides.
-
Code examples showing use of
coutstatements to display variable values were included. -
Examples of arithmetic operators and how to use them were illustrated in the slides.
-
Examples of how
endland\nwork in code were included.
Additional Topics (problems for program)
- Converting currencies (pesos to dollars)
- Calculating geometric shapes (rectangles, circles)
- Calculating employee salary based on weekly hours and daily rate.
