CSC425 Introduction to Computer Programming

Lab 1: Introduction to C++

Objectives:

1. Learn about the DevC++ editor software


2. Practice writing, compiling and running basic C++ programs with cout statements
3. Gain familiarity with syntax error

Step 1: Run DevC++ and create file

● Run the DevC++ from the Start Menu of the lab computer
● In DevC++, create new C++ program: Click File >> New >> Source File from top menu. An
empty white text window should appear

Step 2: Save the program

● Click the File >> Save As.. from the top menu.
● The file name must end .cpp.

✔ Any C (C++) program must be saved in a file with extension “.c” (“.cpp”).
✔ File names should begin with lower case letters.
✔ File names should limited up to 30 characters.
✔ File names and directory paths should not contain blanks, parentheses “(”, or crazy characters.
✔ Smallest non-empty C/C++ file, which is compilable, must have at least the main().
Step 3: Compile and run the program

● Write the following code.

✔ The program starts with what is called preprocessor directive, #include.


✔ The main program starts with keyword main(), each program must have a main()
function.
✔ All the coding is included in the body of the main(), within the curly braces { }.
✔ The C++ language defines several headers, which contain information that is either necessary
or useful to your program. For this program, the header <iostream> is needed.
✔ The line using namespace std; tells the compiler to use the std namespace.
✔ The next line //main() is where program execution begins. is a
single-line comment available in C++. Single-line comments begin with // and stop at the
end of the line.
✔ The line int main() is the main function where program execution begins.
✔ The next line cout << "Hello World!" << endl; causes the message “Hello
World!” to be displayed on the screen.
✔ The next line return 0; terminates main()function and causes it to return the value 0 to the
calling process.

● Click Execute >> Compile & Run from the top menu
Task 1: Trace the output for the following statements.

Task 2: How many lines of output are produced?

Task 3: Create a program that display the output as shown below.

Task 4: Create a program to demonstrate comments

Task 5: The following program contains 7 errors! What are they?


(Once you think you have found the errors, create/compile/run a corrected version of this program)
