In this lesson we learned the basic concepts of C++:
- Basic structure of a C++ program:

for input/output operations- The
main()

- Text output using:
std::cout

operator for output direction std::endl
to end the line
- Multiple ways to output multiple lines:
- Multiple

commands - One

- Comments for code documentation:
- Single-line comments
//
- Multi-line comments
/* */
- Single-line comments
In the next lesson we will cover variables and data types in C++!
