C++ is a powerful, high-performance programming language widely used for
system/software development, game engines, and applications requiring speed and
efficiency. It is an extension of the C language with object-oriented programming features.

2. Features of C++
- Compiled language (fast execution).
- Supports object-oriented programming.
- Allows low-level memory manipulation.
- Widely used in operating systems, embedded systems, and games.

3. Basic C++ Syntax


Example of a simple C++ program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello, World!";

- int: Integers
- float: Decimal numbers
- double: Larger decimal numbers
- char: Single characters
- string: Text (via <string> library)
- bool: True/False

5. Example: Loops and Functions


int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int main() {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
cout << add(i, 2) << endl;
}
return 0;
}
