Study Notes

Introduction to C++

Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in the early 1980s.
C++ is a superset of the C programming language, incorporating object-oriented programming features.

C++ Program Creation

C++ programs can be created using any text editor, which allows for text file creation and editing.
The compilation process checks the code for errors and converts it to machine-level code using a compiler.
The compiler displays any errors to assist in debugging.

Text Editors for C++

Two primary text editors for C++:
- Turbo C++
- Borland C++
Both editors offer an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C++ programming.
Common menu options in these IDEs include File, Edit, Compile, and Run.

File Extensions

All C++ programs are saved with the file extension .cpp.

Simple C++ Program Structure

Example of basic C++ program structure:
- #include directive for including libraries.
- void main() serves as the entry point for the program.
- The body of the program is enclosed in curly braces {}.
- cout is utilized for output operations.
