    Study Notes

    Purpose of the First C++ Program

    • The primary purpose is to demonstrate the basic syntax and structure of a C++ program.
    • Commonly, the first program outputs "Hello, World!" to familiarize programmers with the compilation and execution process.

    Essential Component of C++ Program Structure

    • A basic C++ program must include a function, typically main(), which serves as the entry point for execution.

    Output of Basic C++ Program

    • A program containing cout << Hello, World!; will produce the output: Hello, World! on the screen.
    • The statement is part of the Standard Library, specifically used for console output.

    Including Libraries in C++

    • The keyword #include is used to include libraries, enabling access to standard functions and objects.
    • For example, #include <iostream> is used to incorporate the Input/Output stream library.

    Common Mistakes in First C++ Program

    • A frequent error is omitting the necessary std:: prefix for standard elements like cout, leading to compilation issues.
    • Forgetting to declare the return type for main(), which should be int, can also cause problems.
