C++ Programming

Essentials: From
Syntax to Solutions
This presentation offers an overview of core C++ concepts for
beginners. We'll journey from basic syntax to advanced problem-
solving. Our focus is on practical application and best practices.

C++ Fundamentals: Syntax, Variables, & Data Types
Basic Structure
• #include, main(), std::cout

Variables & Types


• int, double, char, bool, std::string

Declaration
• int age = 30;

Operators
• +, -, *, /, %

Input/Output
• std::cin for input, std::cout for output

#include int main() { int num1 = 10; double num2 = 5.5;


std::cout < < "Sum: " < < num1 + num2 < < std::endl;
return 0;}
Control Flow: Mastering Loops
For Loop
Fixed iterations. Ideal for known counts.

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)

While Loop
Repeats while condition is true. Flexible.

while (condition)

Do-While Loop
Executes at least once. Then checks condition.

do { ... } while (condition)

#include int main() { for (int i = 1; i <= 5; ++i) { std::cout < < i < < " ";
} std::cout < < std::endl; return 0;}
Code Organization: Functions & Recursion
Functions
Reusable code blocks. Perform specific tasks.
1 • Declaration: int add(int a, int b);
• Definition: int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

Recursion
Function calls itself. Solves problems by breaking down.
2 • Base Case: Stops recursion.
• Recursive Step: Calls with modified input.
Problem Solving: Dry-
Running & Debugging
Habits
Dry-Running
Manually trace code. Track variable values step-by-step.

Debugging Tools
IDEs offer breakpoints. Step through code.

Debugging Technique
Use std::cout for intermediate values. Inspect flow.

Common Errors
Syntax, logic, runtime issues. Learn to identify.
Performance Basics: Time
& Space Complexity
Time Complexity Space Complexity
How execution time grows. How memory usage grows. Auxiliary
Operations versus input size N. memory versus input size N.

Big O Notation
Describes asymptotic behavior. O(1), O(log N), O(N), O(N^2).

// O(N) Linear Searchfor (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { if (arr[i] ==


target) return i;}// O(1) Array Accessint value = arr[index];
Hands-On Practice:
Fundamental Problems

FizzBuzz Palindrome CheckTwo Sum


Loops, conditionals, String/integer Array/vector traversal.
modulo. Numbers 1- manipulation. Same Find two numbers
100. "Fizz", "Buzz", forwards and summing to a target.
"FizzBuzz". backwards.

Reverse Number
Integer arithmetic,
loops. Reverse digits
(e.g., 123 -> 321).
Conclusion & Next Steps
Practice
1 Solve problems consistently. Reinforce learning.

Resources
2 Online tutorials, coding platforms, books.

Future Learning
3 Data structures, algorithms, OOP.
