C++ Programming Basics Part 1
Grasp the big picture and build strong foundation
we’ll walk you through the basic skeleton of a C++ program and the essential components you need to know to get started.
The general skeleton of C++ program has two main components:
1. Library inclusion
2. Main Function
- Library inclusion:
C++ relies on libraries to access various functionalities
For example if you want to get input from user then you need to use the library called #include<iostream>. To perform math functions you need to use #include<math.h>
2. Main Function:
This is the entry point of your program
After including the necessary libraries, you declare the main function
Code:
#include<iostream>
int main(){
// write your logic here
return 0;
}
Then you have cout function to display the output
example:
std:: <<cout<<”ChicaTechHub”;
you’ll commonly use the cout function from the iostream library. However, you need to specify that it belongs to std (standard) namespace.
Line Break:
- \n : This is a simple escape sequence that inserts a newline character.This method is faster than std::endl because performs low-level operation that directly moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line in the output
- std::endl: insert a newline character
code:
#include<iostream>
int main(){
std:: cout <<ChicaTechHub << std::endl;
}
3.using namespace std: By adding using namespace std; at the beginning of your program, you’re telling the compiler that you want to use all the names from the std namespace without explicitly specifying std:: each time.
code:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
std:: cout <<ChicaTechHub << :endl;
}
