Introduction to CPP

C++ is a general-purpose programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s as an extension of C, originally called 'C with Classes'. It supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, featuring low-level memory manipulation, and is widely used in various applications such as system software and game development. Key concepts include data types, control structures, functions, and object-oriented principles like encapsulation and inheritance.

Introduction to C++

A Beginner-Friendly Overview
History of C++

• Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in early 1980s


• Extension of C programming language
• Originally called 'C with Classes'
• Standardized by ISO in 1998 (C++98)
Features of C++

• Object-Oriented Programming
• Low-level memory manipulation
• Fast and efficient
• Supports both procedural and OOP paradigms
Structure of a C++ Program

• #include <iostream>
• int main() {
• std::cout << "Hello, World!";
• return 0;
• }
Basic Syntax and Example

• Statements end with a semicolon (;)


• Curly braces define blocks of code
• Use #include for libraries
• Example: std::cout for output
Data Types and Variables

• Basic types: int, float, char, bool


• Declare variables with type name
• Example: int age = 21;
Operators in C++

• Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %
• Relational: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
• Logical: &&, ||, !
• Assignment: =, +=, -=, etc.
Control Structures

• if, if-else, nested if


• switch-case
• Loops: for, while, do-while
Functions in C++

• Used to divide code into modular parts


• Syntax: returnType functionName(parameters)
• Example: int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
Object-Oriented Concepts

• Class and Object


• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Abstraction
Advantages of C++

• High performance and flexibility


• Large community and library support
• Portable and scalable
• Widely used in game development, OS, compilers
Conclusion and Applications

• C++ is a powerful general-purpose language


• Used in system software, games, real-time simulations
• Great foundation for understanding other languages
• Encourages good programming practices
