Study Notes
Lecture 1: Programming Essentials in C++
- C++ is a general-purpose programming language, developed as an enhancement of the C language to include object-oriented programming (OOP)
- C++ is a high-level language compiled into machine code for execution on a computer.
- It's designed to simplify memory management while retaining low-level memory access capabilities of the C language.
- It's used for creating both small programs and large applications.
Objectives
- Learning how to create simple C++ programs.
- Understanding input and output statements.
- Learning about computer memory concepts.
- Working with arithmetic operators and their precedence.
- Writing simple decision-making statements in C++.
What is C++?
- C++ is an object-oriented programming language that was evolved from C Language.
- C++ maintains features of C (such as low-level memory access) while adding features for more powerful memory management.
- C++ is a powerful, general-purpose programming language capable of large applications as well as smaller programs.
First Program in C++: Printing a Line of Text
- Displaying text on the screen
- Demonstrating comments in code
- How to write simple input/output statements.
- Another example of a C++ program involving adding integers.
A Simple C++ Program
-
#include <iostream>: Includes the iostream library for input/output operations. -
using namespace std;: Uses the standard namespace for C++. -
int main(): The main function where execution begins. -
cout << "Hello world!";: Prints "Hello world!" to the console. -
return 0;: Indicates successful execution of the program. - Curly braces
{}enclose the code block of the main function. - Semicolon (;) ends every C++ statement
Additional Details on Simple C++ Program
- Preprocessor directives (
#include) begin with a hash (#)
Variables
-
int: Represents integer numbers. -
double: Stores fractional numbers up to 14 decimal places. -
float: Stores fractional numbers up to 7 decimal places. -
string: Stores text. -
char: Stores single characters. -
bool: Stores Boolean values (true or false).
Another Simple Program
- Example program demonstrating printing multiple lines of output ("Hi" and "Hello world") (includes a newline character).
