C Basics

This document provides an introduction to C++ basics, including: - The structure of a simple C++ program with include headers, main function, and return 0 - How a C++ program is compiled to check for errors and translate to machine code - Common elements like comments, indentation, statements ending with semicolons - An example "Hello World" program - How to declare variables, read input with cin, and output to the console with cout - Basic control structures like if/else statements and while loops - Boolean operators and conditions to use in control structures - An example program demonstrating if/else and while loops

//include headers; these are modules that include functions that
you may use in your
//program; we will almost always need to include the header that
// defines cin and cout; the header is called iostream.h
#include <iostream.h>
int main() {
//variable declaration
//read values input from user
//computation and print output to user
return 0;
}

Variabledeclaration
type variable-name;
Meaning:variable<variablename>willbeavariableoftype<type>
Wheretypecanbe:
int
double
char

//integer
//real number
//character

Example:
int a, b, c;
double x;
int sum;
char my-character;

Inputstatements
cin >> variable-name;
Meaning:readthevalueofthevariablecalled<variable
name>fromtheuser

Example:
cin >>
cin >>
cin >>
cin >>

a;
b >> c;
x;
my-character;

Outputstatements
cout << variable-name;
Meaning:printthevalueofvariable<variablename>totheuser
cout << any message ;
Meaning:printthemessagewithinquotestotheuser
cout << endl;
Meaning:printanewline
Example:
cout << a;
cout << b << c;
cout << This is my character: << my-character <<
he he he
<< endl;
