Study Notes

C++ Programming Fundamentals

main is the entry point of any C++ application.
Mid-level programming languages, such as C++, exhibit strong abstraction and mid-range access to memory and the operating system.
Pointers are variables.
Code blocks are located within curly brackets/braces, opened by { and closed by }.

Data Types

unsigned short data type has a minimum value of 0.
bool data type has a maximum value of 1.
Explicit data types are strong-typed data types.
Implicit data types are variables that may not declare their data types.
short data type can have a maximum value of 32768.

Flowcharts and Pseudocodes

Flowcharts are created using word-processing applications.
SET...AS is a keyword in pseudocodes that indicates a value being stored to a temporary storage from any source excluding user entry.
INPUT is a classification of technical work items for all user entries.
IF...THEN...END is a category in pseudocodes that deals with decision making.

Loops and Control Statements

Condition is the phase in looping statements where the looping statements are evaluated.
Iteration is not a special variable that controls the flow of loops.
break statement ends the execution of the entire loop.
Statement where it terminates the execution of the current iteration is called break statement.

Functions and OOP

CALL is a keyword that calls user-defined functions.
A typical initialization of a counter is set to 0.
Return type is a part of a function that indicates the final value of the function.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming centered in the use of objects.
Polymorphism is a principle of OOP that deals with different variations of the same method.

Development Tools and Platforms

MinGW presents a minimalistic approach in presenting tools and libraries necessary to develop applications for Microsoft Windows.
IDE is needed to be enabled to compile our selected compiled programming language to executables.
Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) is the preferred compiler for C++ in Windows x86 architecture.
GitHub is an open-source community's most famous and most used online version control repository since 2016.
