Hey people
Welcome to my C++ Basics thread.So,what is C++ ?
Just as we people speak english,french,swedish or whatever,one of the most common languages which computers understands is C++.Yes,this is how we communicate data,orders,to the machine,and how it runs that message.
You write you C++ program with statements.
For example if you want your program to say : "Hello there.Whats up?"
You do this :
// My first noob program
cout << "Hello there.Whats up?" ;
Notice the // doesnt affect the program.Its just to help yourself organise your program.In other words,if you do this :
// does
// this program
// work?
The answer is : No
So,you write your program,whatever it is,and then you use a compiler to pack the data and build an application to run your program.
- You do not need to know how a compiler or why C++ works in details unless you want to become a computer scientist/technician
-If you want to program you need to learn the C++ launguage,in other words C++ statements and its rules.As long as the C++ data works and the complier does its job correctly,you're good to go
Here is another C++ statement/declaration :
int factor;
factor = 212 - 32;
This is if you need to invlove mathematical calculations in your program.
int factor declares there will be a value
factor = ... is the value you want to use
; is to close your statement and pass on to the next statement.
Of course,whats the use of knowing this if you do not have a C++ developper program?Well,you should have asked before.Here is is :

And remember,its ok to be a beginner.When I started computing,I didn't know what Winrar or what an IP was xD
Good luck,future programmer!
