Introduction to C++ Programming

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 2 Introduction to C++ l C is a programming language developed in the 1970's alongside the UNIX operating system. l C provides a comprehensive set of features for handling a wide variety of applications, such as systems development and scientific computation. l C++ is an “extension” of the C language, in that most C programs are also C++ programs. l C++, as opposed to C, supports “object- oriented programming.”

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 4 C++ keywords l Keywords appear in blue in Visual C++. l Each keyword has a predefined purpose in the language. l Do not use keywords as variable and constant names!! l The complete list of keywords is on page 673 of the textbook. l We shall cover the following keywords in this class: bool, break, case, char, const, continue, do, default, double, else, extern, false, float, for, if, int, long, namespace, return, short, static, struct, switch, typedef, true, unsigned, void, while

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 5 Example 0 – adding 2 numbers l Peter: Hey Frank, I just learned how to add two numbers together. l Frank: Cool! l Peter : Give me the first number. l Frank: 2. l Peter : Ok, and give me the second number. l Frank: 5. l Peter : Ok, here's the answer: = 7. l Frank: Wow! You are amazing! l after Frank says “2”, Peter has to keep this number in his mind. 257 First number: Second number: Sum: l after Frank says “5”, Peter also needs to keep this number in his mind.

The Corresponding C++ Program #include using namespace std; int main() { int first, second, sum; cout << "Peter: Hey Frank, I just learned how to add” << “ two numbers together."<< endl; cout << "Frank: Cool!" <<endl; cout << "Peter: Give me the first number."<< endl; cout << "Frank: "; cin >> first; cout << "Peter: Give me the second number."<< endl; cout << "Frank: "; cin >> second; sum = first + second; cout << "Peter: OK, here is the answer:"; cout << sum << endl; cout << "Frank: Wow! You are amazing!" << endl; return 0; }

Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 7 #include using namespace std; int main() { int number_of_pods, peas_per_pod, total_peas; cout << "Press return after entering a number.\n"; cout << "Enter the number of pods:\n"; cin >> number_of_pods; cout << "Enter the number of peas in a pod:\n"; cin >> peas_per_pod; total_peas = number_of_pods * peas_per_pod; Demo Example 1

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 8 cout << "If you have "; cout << number_of_pods; cout << " pea pots\n"; cout << "and "; cout << peas_per_pod; cout << " pea in each pod, then \n"; cout << "you have "; cout << total_peas; cout << " peas in all the pods.\n"; return 0; } Demo Example 1

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 9 Identifiers appear in black in Visual C++. n An identifier is a name for a variable, constant, function, etc. n It consists of a letter followed by any sequence of letters, digits, and underscores. Examples of valid identifiers: First_name, age, y2000, y2k Examples of invalid identifiers: 2000y Identifiers cannot have special characters in them. For example: X=Y, J-20, ~Ricky,*Michael are invalid identifiers. Identifiers are case-sensitive. For example: Hello, hello, WHOAMI, WhoAmI, whoami are unique identifiers. C++ identifiers

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 10 C++ comments l Comments appear in green in Visual C++. l Comments are explanatory notes; they are ignored by the compiler. l There are two ways to include comments in a program: // A double slash marks the start of a //single line comment. /* A slash followed by an asterisk marks the start of a multiple line comment. It ends with an asterisk followed by a slash. */

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 11 C++ compiler directives l Compiler directives appear in blue in Visual C++. The #include directive tells the compiler to include some already existing C++ code in your program. l The included file is then linked with the program. There are two forms of #include statements: #include //for pre-defined files #include "my_lib.h" //for user-defined files

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 12 Programming Style C++ is a free-format language, which means that: l Extra blanks (spaces) or tabs before or after identifiers/operators are ignored. l Blank lines are ignored by the compiler just like comments. l Code can be indented in any way. l There can be more than one statement on a single line. l A single statement can continue over several lines.

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 13 In order to improve the readability of your program, use the following conventions: l Start the program with a header that tells what the program does. l Use meaningful variable names. l Document each variable declaration with a comment telling what the variable is used for. l Place each executable statement on a single line. l A segment of code is a sequence of executable statements that belong together. n Use blank lines to separate different segments of code. n Document each segment of code with a comment telling what the segment does. Programming Style (cont. )

COMP102 Prog. Fundamentals I:Introduction to C++ / Slide 14 What makes a bad program? l Writing Code without detailed analysis and design l Repeating trial and error without understanding the problem l Debugging the program line by line, statement by statement l Writing tricky and dirty programs
