Study Notes

About CPC

  • Collage Programming Competitions are events where programmers solve problems in a competitive setting.
  • There are four levels: Local, Regional, National, and International.
  • The rules typically involve teams of three students from the same university competing to solve problems within a set time limit.
  • The scoreboard ranks teams based on the number of problems solved correctly, incorrect attempts, and time penalties.

Introduction to Programming

  • Programming is the process of creating instructions for a computer to perform specific tasks.
  • Programmers need a translator, like a compiler, to convert human-readable code into machine-readable binary.
  • High-level languages (like Python, Java, and C++) are closer to human language, while low-level languages (like Assembly) are closer to machine instructions.
  • Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) provide comprehensive tools for programming, including code editors, compilers, debuggers, and build systems.
  • Popular IDEs include Visual Studio, Eclipse, PyCharm, and Code::Blocks.

First Program

  • Code::Blocks is a free, open-source IDE primarily used for C, C++, and Fortran development.
  • The #include <iostream> directive includes the input/output stream library, providing functionality for reading and writing data.
  • using namespace std; avoids the need to write std:: before every element from the standard library.
  • int main() is the entry point for every C++ program.
  • return 0; exits the main() function and returns 0 to indicate successful execution.
  • cout << "Hello, world" << endl; prints the text "Hello, world" to the console.
