Introduction To C++

This document provides an introduction and overview for a course on C++ programming. It outlines the course objectives which are to learn the basics of C++, how to compile and run programs, and use C++ to implement small programs. It also describes the course structure, assumptions, terminology related to programming and the C++ language, a basic C++ program structure, and a first program example to sum two numbers. Key aspects of C++ like comments, header files, data types, variables, and I/O are also introduced.

The C++ Programming Language
 A superset of C
– C++ compilers can be used to compile C
programs
 Supports
– Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
– Templates
– Overloading of functions and operators
 Best to think of C++ as its own language
INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber
Terminology
 Operating System
– unix, windows, linux, ...
 Source Code
– Printable/Readable Program file
 Object Code
– Nonprintable machine readable file
 Executable Code
– Nonprintable executable code
 Compiler
– Converts source code to object code
 Linker
– Converts object code to executable code

INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber


Terminology

Basic C++ Program Structure
/***********************************************************************
* Header Comments
***********************************************************************/
global declarations

int main()
{
declarations and executable statements
return 0;
}//end block of main

INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber


First Program - sum two numbers
/
****************************************************************************
* Sum two numbers
****************************************************************************
/

#include <iostream> //declares standard I/O library


using namespace std;

int main() //must have one and only one function named main
{
int number1, number2; //declare two integer variables
cout << “enter two integers” << endl; //prompt for input
cin >> number1 >> number2; //input values for two variables from keyboard
cout << number1 + number2; //output sum of two numbers to the screen
return 0;
}//end block of main
INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber
First Program
•Comments have two forms in C++
•//Single line comments
•/*Multi-line comments*/

•#include files
•<filename.h> //Standard C library header file
•<filename> //Standard C++ library files
•“myfile.h” //Your files (need full path)
•using namespace std;
INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber
Simple I/O

cin
• is an istream object
•streams input from standard input
•uses the >> (input operator)

cout
•is an ostream object
•streams output to standard output
•uses the << (output) operator

INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber


C++ Data Types
Keyword Example of a constant
bool true
char ‘5’
int 25
double 25.0

INTEC CS160 - Jeanine Ingber


Variables and Identifiers
A variable is a memory location. The name of the variable
(the identifer) is the address of the memory location.
Identifiers
•case sensitive
•must begin with a letter or underscore
•consist of letter, digits and underscore only (no special characters)
•can not use reserve words (key words)
