Study Notes

Loops

A for loop executes a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.
A while loop repeats a block of statements while a given condition evaluates to true.
A do-while loop executes the loop body first before evaluating the expression.

Control Statements

The break statement terminates the loop or switch statement and transfers the flow of the program to the statements following the loop.
A switch statement provides a way to perform different actions based on the value of a variable or expression.
A default statement is a sequence of statements that is performed if no matches are found.

Arrays

A one-dimensional array is a list of related variables.

Functions

A function is a group of statements that is executed when it is called from some point of the program.
A function's body is a block of statements surrounded by the braces { }.

OOP Concepts

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a conceptual approach to design programs.
Encapsulation is defined as wrapping up of data and information in a single unit.
Encapsulation is also defined as binding together the data and the functions that manipulate them.
Inheritance is the capability of a class to derive properties and characteristics from another class.
A derived class is a class that inherits properties from another class.
A base class is a class whose properties are inherited by a subclass or derived class.
Single inheritance is a type of inheritance that a class is allowed to inherit from only one class.
Multiple inheritance is a type of inheritance that a class can inherit from more than one class.
Multilevel inheritance is a type of inheritance that a derived class is created from another derived class.

C++ Basics

C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup.
C++ was invented in 1979.
A class is a user-defined data type (a set of states and a set of operations which transition between those states).
The #include directive is used to include a header file library.
The using namespace std directive means that we can use names for objects and variables from the standard library.
A blank line is used to make the code more readable.
The int main() function is the main function.
The return 0 statement ends the main function.
cin is an object used together with the insertion operator ().
cout is an object used to print output.

Operators

An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical manipulations.
Arithmetic operators are used to perform common mathematical operations.
Relational operators are used to compare two values.
Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.
