Question/Answers
Q1. Explain the structure of C++.
=> C++ is a general-purpose, high-performance programming language
developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983.
Here the structure of C++:

#include<iostream> //Preprocessor Directives

using namespace std; //Allows us to use names like cout, cin without
prefixing with std::

int main (){ //Main function


.
.
// Code inside main function
.
.
return 0; //Used to terminate the program.
}

i) Preprocessor Directives : Preprocessor directives are special instructions in C


and C++ that are processed by the preprocessor before the actual compilation of
the program begins.

ii) Namespaces : Namespaces in C++ are a feature used to organize code into
logical groups and prevent name conflicts.

iii) Main Function : The main() function is the entry point of any C++ program.
Execution starts here.

Q2. What is variable?


=> A variable in C++ (and most programming languages) is a named storage
location in memory used to hold a value.

Types of Variables:
1. Primitive Data Types:
• int: Stores integers (whole numbers) like -5, 0, 10.
• float: Stores floating-point (decimal) numbers like 3.14, -0.001.
• double: Stores double-precision floating-point numbers (more precise than
float).
• char: Stores a single character like 'a', 'B', or '9'.
• bool: Stores a boolean value (true or false).

2. User-defined Data Types:


Variables can also be declared using user-defined types such as:
• struct
• class
• enum

Q3. What is compiler?


=> A compiler is a software program that translates code written in a high-level
programming language into machine code or bytecode that a computer's
processor can understand and execute easily.

Q4. What is IDE?


=> An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software application that
provides a comprehensive environment to developers for writing, testing,
debugging, and managing code.

Q5. What is constant? Explain the types of constant.


=> A constant in programming refers to a value that cannot be changed once it
is defined.
Types of Constants in C++:
1. Literal Constants : Fixed values assigned directly to variables in the code.
These values are used directly in expressions and cannot be changed.
• Integer literals: 10, -5, 0
• Floating-point literals: 3.14, -0.001
• Character literals: 'a', 'B'
• String literals: "Hello World!"

2. Keyword : This defines a variable whose value cannot be changed once


assigned.

• A const variable must be initialized when declared, and its value cannot be altered later in the
program.
