C++ Basics

CSci 107
A C++ program
//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;
}
After you write a C++ program you compile it; that is, you run a program
called compiler that checks whether the program follows the C++ syntax
– if it finds errors, it lists them
– If there are no errors, it translates the C++ program into a program in machine
language which you can execute
Notes

• what follows after // on the same line is considered comment

• indentation is for the convenience of the reader; compiler ignores all spaces
and new line ; the delimiter for the compiler is the semicolon

• all statements ended by semicolon

• Lower vs. upper case matters!!


– Void is different than void
– Main is different that main
The infamous
Hello world program
When learning a new language, the first program people
usually write is one that salutes the world :)

Here is the Hello world program in C++.

#include <iostream.h>
int main() {
cout << “Hello world!”;

return 0;
}
Variable declaration
type variable-name;
Meaning: variable <variable-name> will be a variable of type <type>

Where type can be:


– int //integer
– double //real number
– char //character

Example:
int a, b, c;
double x;
int sum;
char my-character;
Input statements
cin >> variable-name;
Meaning: read the value of the variable called <variable-
name> from the user

Example:
cin >> a;
cin >> b >> c;
cin >> x;
cin >> my-character;
Output statements
cout << variable-name;
Meaning: print the value of variable <variable-name> to the user
cout << “any message “;
Meaning: print the message within quotes to the user
cout << endl;
Meaning: print a new line

Example:
cout << a;
cout << b << c;
cout << “This is my character: “ << my-character << “
he he he”
<< endl;
If statements
True False
condition
if (condition) {
S1;
}
S1 S2
else {
S2;
}
S3;
S3
Boolean conditions
..are built using
• Comparison operators
== equal
!= not equal
< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal
>= greater than or equal

• Boolean operators
&& and
|| or
! not
Examples
Assume we declared the following variables:
int a = 2, b=5, c=10;

Here are some examples of boolean conditions we can use:


• if (a == b) …
• if (a != b) …
• if (a <= b+c) …
• if(a <= b) && (b <= c) …
• if !((a < b) && (b<c)) …
If example
#include <iostream.h>

void main() {
int a,b,c;
cin >> a >> b >> c;

if (a <=b) {
cout << “min is “ << a << endl;
}
else {
cout << “ min is “ << b << endl;
}
cout << “happy now?” << endl;
}
While statements
True False
while (condition) { condition

S1;
} S1

S2;
S2
While example
//read 100 numbers from the user and output their sum
#include <iostream.h>

void main() {
int i, sum, x;
sum=0;
i=1;
while (i <= 100) {
cin >> x;
sum = sum + x;
i = i+1;
}
cout << “sum is “ << sum << endl;
}
Exercise
• Write a program that asks the user
– Do you want to use this program? (y/n)
• If the user says ‘y’ then the program terminates
• If the user says ‘n’ then the program asks
– Are you really sure you do not want to use
this program? (y/n)
– If the user says ‘n’ it terminates, otherwise it prints again
the message
– Are you really really sure you do not want to
use this program? (y/n)
– And so on, every time adding one more “really”.
