C++ "Hello, World!"


Program
A "Hello, World!" is a simple program that outputs
Hello, World! on the screen. Since it's a very simple
program, it's often used to introduce a new programming
language to a newbie.

Let's see how C++ "Hello, World!" program works.

Working of C++ "Hello World!"


Program
1. // Your First C++ Program

In C++, any line starting with // is a comment (/cpp-


programming/comments). Comments are intended for
the person reading the code to better understand the
functionality of the program. It is completely ignored
by the C++ compiler.

2. #include <iostream>

The #include is a preprocessor directive used to


include files in our program. The above code is
including the contents of the iostream file (/cpp-
programming/library-function/iostream).

3. int main() {...}

A valid C++ program must have the main() function.


The curly braces indicate the start and the end of the
function.

The execution of code beings from this function.

4. std::cout << "Hello World!";

std::cout prints the content inside the quotation


marks. It must be followed by << followed by the
format string. In our example, "Hello World!" is the
format string.

Note: ; is used to indicate the end of a statement.

5. return 0;

The return 0; statement is the "Exit status" of the


program. In simple terms, the program ends with this
statement.

Things to take away


We use std:cout in order to print output on the screen.

We must include iostream if we want to use std::cout .
