Structure of a program
//My First Program in C++

// This is a comment line

#include <iostream>

Lines beginning with a hash sign(#) are

directives for the preprocessor.

using namespace std;

All the elements of the standard C++

Library are declared within what is
called namespace.

int main ( )

The beginning of the definition of the

main function.

{
C++ Line statement.
cout << Welcome to SAU;
return 0;

The return statement caused the main

function to finish.

}
21

Comments
Comments

are parts of the source code disregarded by the

compiler.
Their purpose is only to allow the programmer to insert notes
or descriptions embedded within the source code.
// Line comment
Discard everything from where the pair of slash signs.
/* Block Comment */
Discards everything between the /* characters and the first
appearance of the */ characters.
22

#include <iostream>
Beginning

with a hash (#) are not regular code lines.

It indicates for the compilers preprocessor.
include <iostream> tells the preprocessor to include the
iostream standard file.

using name space std;

When

programs get very large and complex, and make heavy

use of libraries from a variety of sources, the possibility of
name.
Identifiers can be grouped into separate sets, each set associate
with a particular library of body of code.
The collision can be resolved by qualifying the names with the
name space.
23

int main( )
The

main function is the point by where all C++ Programs

start their execution, independently of its location within the
source code.
It does not matter whether there are other functions with other
names defined before or after it.
The word main is followed in the code by a pair of
parentheses( )

return 0
The

return statement causes the main function to finish. Return

may be followed by a return code 0.
A return code 0 for the main function is generally interpreted as
the program worked as expected without any errors.
24

Southern Arkansas University

#cout << hello world

Beginning

with a hash (#) are not regular code lines.

It indicates for the compilers preprocessor.
include <iostream> tells the preprocessor to include the
iostream standard file.

Fundamental data types

Store

variables in our computers memory, but the computer

has to know what kind of data we want to store them.
The memory in our computer is organized in bytes.

26

Southern Arkansas University

Declaration of variables
In

order to use a variable in C++, we must declare it

specifying which data type we want it to be.
int a; // declares a variable of type int with the
// identifier a
int b; int x; int iA;
float myNumber; //declares a variable of type float
//with identifier myNumber;
Declare more than one variable of the same type
int a, b, c;

27

Examples
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
int a, b;
//Declaring variables
int results;
a = 5;
//Process
b = 2;
result = a b;
cout << result;

// print out the result

// terminate the program

return 0
}
28

Scope of Variables
Global

variable - A variable declared in the main body of the

source code, outside all functions.
Local variable Declared within the body of a function or a
block.

29

Southern Arkansas University

Initialization of variable
When

declaring a regular local variable, its value is by default

undetermined. But you may want to store concrete value at the
same moment
int a =5;
//initial value = 5
int b(2);
//initial value = 2
int result; //initial value Undetermined

30

Introduction to Strings
Variables

that can store non-numerical values that longer than one single
character are known as strings.

// my first string
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main ( )
{
string myString = This is a string;
cout << myString;
return 0;
}
31

Southern Arkansas University

Constants -1
Constants

are expression with a fixed value.

Literals

- Literals are used to express particular values within the source

code of a program.
a = 5; //the 5 is literal constant.
Literal constants can be divided in
Inter Numerals, Floating-point Numerals, Characters,
String and Boolean values.

32

Southern Arkansas University

Constants -2
Integer

Numerals
1776 , 707, -273
75 //Decimal
o113 //Octal
0x4b //Hexadecimal
Floating point Numbers
- They express numbers with decimals and /or exponents.
3.14159 // 3.14159
6.02e23 // 6.02 * 10 ^ 23
1.6e-19 // 1.6 * 10^-19
3.0
// 3.0
Character and String literals
`z` `p`
Hello World
33

Southern Arkansas University

Constants -3
Character

and String literals

`z` `p`
Hello World
Boolean literals
true and false

34

Southern Arkansas University

Escape code
Special

characters that are difficult or impossible to express

otherwise in the source code of a program.
All of them are preceded by a backslash ( \ )

35

Southern Arkansas University

Define Constants (#define)

Simply

use the #define preprocessor directive

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define PI 3.14159
#define NewLine \n
int main ( )
{
double r = 5.0; //Radius
double circle;
circle = 2 * PI * r;
cout << circle;
cout << NewLine;
return 0;
}

Operators
Assignment

: Assigns a value to a variable

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
int a, b ;
// a: ? b: ?
a = 10;
// a: 10, b: ?
b = 4;
// a: 10, b : 4
a=b;
// a:4 , b:4
b = 7;
// a:4 , b:7
cout << a:;
cout << a;
cout << b:;
cout << b;
return 0;
}

Arithmetic Operators ( +, -, * , % )
The

+
*
/
%

38

five arithmetical operations by the C++

Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division
Modulo

Southern Arkansas University

Compound assignment

+= , -=, /=, *=

Expression

Is equivalent to

Value += increase;

Value = Value + increase;

A -= 5

A= A 5 ;

A /= B;

A= A / B;

Price *= units 1

Price = price * ( units + 1 )

int main ( )
{
int a , b = 3;
a = b;
a+=2; // a = a + 2;
cout << a;
return 0;
}
