Basics Summary

In this lesson we learned the basic concepts of C++:

  1. Basic structure of a C++ program:
    • #include <iostream> for input/output operations
    • The main() function as the program's entry point
    • Curly braces {} to denote code blocks
  2. Text output using:
    • std::cout for output
    • The << operator for output direction
    • std::endl to end the line
  3. Multiple ways to output multiple lines:
    • Multiple std::cout commands
    • One std::cout command with multiple std::endl
  4. Comments for code documentation:
    • Single-line comments //
    • Multi-line comments /* */

In the next lesson we will cover variables and data types in C++!
