Study Notes
Variable Definitions
- Variable definitions must start with a letter or underscore, and the remaining characters can include numbers or underscores.
- Spaces are not permitted, use underscores instead.
- Variables names are case-sensitive, so can_volume and can_Volume are different.
- Do not use reserved words as variable names, like double or return.
Number Types
- Whole numbers are integers.
- Fractional values, known as floating-point numbers, can be expressed in scientific notation using the letter e, which represents 10 to the power of.
Variable Names
- Use descriptive names that explain the purpose, such as can_volume, instead of terse short names like cv.
The Assignment Statement
- The contents in variables can change over time.
- An assignment statement stores a new value in a variable, replacing the previously stored one.
- An assignment statement does not mean the left hand side is equal to the right hand side, it's an instruction to copy the value of the expression on the right into the variable on the left.
- Variable names are case-sensitive, meaning can_volume and can_Volume are considered different names.
Formatted Output
- Manipulators are used in cout to specify how values should be formatted for display.
- You can use the setprecision manipulator to round off displayed values for output.
