    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.
