    Study Notes

    Binary Combinations

    • The number of possible combinations for 'n' bits is 2n.
    • With 1 bit, there are 2 combinations.
    • With 2 bits, there are 4 combinations.
    • With 3 bits, there are 8 combinations.

    Memory Addresses and Base 16

    • Every byte has a unique physical address.
    • Base 10 uses digits 0-9.
    • Base 16 (hexadecimal) uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F.
    • Base 16 has 16 unique symbols.

    C++ Code Structure

    • C++ programs often include header files (e.g., iostream) at the top to use predefined functions and data types.
    • #include <iostream> includes input/output streams.
    • using namespace std; makes standard library components accessible without the prefix "std::".
    • cout is used for displaying output to the console.
    • cout << endl; inserts a new line.
    • cin is used to obtain input from the user.
    • The main function is the entry point of a C++ program.
    • int main() specifies the function returns an integer.
    • return 0; indicates successful program execution.
    • string stores sequences of characters.
    • Insertion operator (<<) sends data to output streams.
    • return 0 in int main() signifies successful execution.

    Algorithms

    • Algorithms are step-by-step procedures to achieve a solution.
    • Computers require explicit instructions for each step.
    • Algorithm examples given involve sequential searching.

    Variable Assignment and Evaluation

    • Variable assignment follows right-to-left evaluation.
    • In myInt = 12 + 10, the expression 12 + 10 is evaluated (22) and assigned to myInt.
    • Assignments overwrite existing values.
    • Initial assignments in a program have garbage values.
    • Initial values for variables like total must be calculated after inputs like hours.
    • Variables used in expressions (e.g., myInt in myInt + 10) must have already been assigned valid values.
