Overview of C++

2.1 C++ Language Elements

Comments make a program easier to understand

// Used to signify a comment on a single line

/* Text text */ use if comments on multi lines

Don’t embed comments within /* */ comments

6

Compiler Directives

#include– Compiler directive– Processed at compilation time– Instructs compiler on what you want in the program

#include <iostream>– Adds library files to program– Used with < >– Also “ “ user defined

7

Compiler Directives

Stream data type– Object that is a stream of characters– Defined in iostream– Entered on the keyboard (cin)– Displayed on monitor (cout)

8

Declarations

Based on data needs (data identifiers) Each identifier needed must be declared Comma used to separate identifiers cin and cout are standard, undeclared identifiers

– Special elements called streams– cin - input stream– cout - output stream– Included with the iostream, not declared

9

Executable Statements

cout get outputcout << "\nEnter the fabric size in square meters:";

cin get inputcin >> sizeInSqmeters;

AssignmentsizeInSqyards = metersToYards * sizeInSqmeters;

10

2.2 Reserved Words and Identifiers

Reserved words have special meanings– Can NOT be used for other purposes (const, float and void are some examples)

Identifiers (variables)– Used to store data by the program (user

defined)– Valid identifiers - letter, letter1, _letter– Invalid identifiers - 1letter, const, hell o

11

Reserved Words and Identifiers

Special symbols– C++ has rules for special symbols – = * ; { } ( ) // << >>

12

Upper and Lower Case

C++ - case sensitive language– Compiler differentiates upper & lower case– Identifiers can be either – Be careful though (cost != Cost)

Blank spaces– Use space to make program readable– Use care in placing spaces

13

2.3 Data Types and Declarations

Predefined data types– int (integer numbers)

• Positive or negative whole numbers• 1000 12 199 100000• INT_MAX - largest int allowed by compiler

– float or double (real numbers)• Positive or negative decimal numbers• 10.5 1.2 100.02 99.88

14

Data Types and Declarations

Predefined data types– bool (Boolean)

• true• false

– char (Characters)• Represent single characters

15

Data Types and Declarations

The basic integer type is int– The size of an int depends on the machine

and the compiler• On PC’s it is normally 16 or 32 bits

Other integers types– short: typically uses less bits– long: typically uses more bits

16

Data Types and Declarations

Floating-point types represent real numbers– Integer part– Fractional part

The number 108.1517 breaks down into the following parts– 108 - integer part– 1517 - fractional part

17

Data Types and Declarations

C++ provides three floating-point types:

– float– double– long double

18

Data Types and Declarations

Predefined data types– char (characters)

• Individual character value (letter or number)• Character literal enclosed in single quotes ‘A’

– bool (true / false) Ordinal types

– int bool char– Values can be listed

19

Data Types and Declarations

Character type char is related to the integer types

Characters are encoded using a scheme where an integer represents a particular character

20

Data Types and Declarations

ASCII is the dominant encoding scheme– Examples

• ' ' encoded as 32• '+' encoded as 43• 'A' encoded as 65• 'Z' encoded as 90• 'a' encoded as 97 • 'z' encoded as 122

21

string Class

String object data type– A literal string constant is a sequence of zero or

more characters enclosed in double quotes– "Are you aware?\n"– Individual characters of string are stored in

consecutive memory locations– The null character ('\0') is appended to

strings so that the compiler knows where in memory string ends

22

string Class

String literal– "A"– "1234"– "Enter the distance:"

Additional data types included in library#include <string>– Various operations on strings

23

Declarations

Identifiers should be – Short enough to be reasonable to type (single word is

norm)• Standard abbreviations are fine (but only standard

abbreviations)

– Long enough to be understandable• When using multiple word identifiers capitalize the first

letter of each word

24

Declarations

Examples– char response;– int minelement;– float score;– float temperature;– int i;– int n;– char c;– float x;

25

Constant Declarations

Types of named constants:– integer – float– char– bool– string objects

Associate meaningful terms– const float PAYRATE = 10.25;

26

Hello.cpp –full text of program

// FILE: Hello.cpp// DISPLAYS A USER'S NAME#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){

char letter1, letter2;string lastName;

// Enter letters and print message. cout << "Enter 2 initials and last name: "; cin >> letter1 >> letter2 >> lastName; cout << "Hello " << letter1 << ". " << letter2 << ". " << lastName << "! ";

cout << "We hope you enjoy studying C++." << endl; return 0;}

27

Hello.cpp

Program output

Enter first 2 initials and last name and press return: EBKoffman

Hello E. B. Koffman! We hope you enjoy studying C++.

28

2.4 Executable Statements

Memory status– Before and after

Assignments– Form: result = expression;– sizeInSqyards = metersToYards * sizeInSqMeters;– sum = sum + item;

29

Arithmetic Operators

+ Addition - Subtraction * Multiplication / Division % Modulus

30

Input / Output Operations

Input– #include <iostream> library– cin >> sizeInSqmeters;

Extracted from cin (input stream) >> Directs input to variable cin associated with keyboard input (stdin) Used with int, float, char, bool and strings

31

Data Types and cin

Don’t mix types with cinint x;cin >> x;

Keyboard input

16.6

Value placed in x would be 16

32

Other Characteristics of cin

Leading blanks ignored (floats, int, char, bool and

strings) Char read 1 at a time (1 non blank) Case issues int or float will read until space Strings same as int and float

33

General Form for cin

Form: cin >> dataVariable;

cin >> age >> firstInitial;

34

Program Output

Output stream cout << Output operator (insertion operator)

– cout << “my height in inches is: “ << height; Blank lines

– endl or “\n” or ‘\n’

Form: cout << dataVariable;

35

2.5 General Form of a C++ Program

General program form– Function basic unit (collection of related statements)– A C++ program must contain a main function

void main() { . . . }

– int - function returns integer value– void - function does not return value– main - lower case with ()– { } - Braces define the function body

36

General Form of a C++ Program

General form of function body parts

–Declaration statements• Variables and constants

–Executable statements• C++ statements

2.6 Arithmetic Expressions

int data type– + - * /, Assignment, input and output on int– % Only used with int

Examples of integer division15 / 3 = 515 / 2 = 70 / 15 = 0

15 / 0 undefined

41

Modulus and Integer

Used only with integer and yields remainder

Examples of integer modulus7 % 2 = 1

299 % 100 = 99

49 % 5 = 4

15 % 0 undefined

42

Mixed-type Assignments

Expression evaluated Result stored in the variable on the left side C++ can mix types

float a, b, x;int m, n;a = 10;b = 5;x = m / n;

43

Expressions With Multiple Operators

Operator precedence tells how to evaluate expressions

Standard precedence order– () Evaluated first, if nested innermost

done first– * / % Evaluated second. If there are several,

then evaluate from left-to-right– + - Evaluate third. If there are several,

then evaluate from left-to-right

44

Mathematical Formulas in C++

a = bc not valid C++ syntax* Operator a = b * c;

m =

( ) And / m = (y - a) / (x + b);

45

2.8 Common Programming Errors

Syntax– Programs rarely compile– Something always goes wrong– Systematic solutions

Compiler not descriptive– Look at line number before and after error– Watch missing ; and }

46

Common Programming Errors

Run-time errors– Illegal operation (divide by 0)

Logic errors– Program functions differently than you expect

Intro to MS Visual C++Creating Unmanaged Application

To build a console application that will run without .NET framework, follow these steps:1. Open Visual Studio.2. On the Start Page, click New Project… . If the Start Page isn’t visible, Choose File,

New, Project.3. Select the Visual C++\Win32 from Installed Project Templates on the left and select

Win32 Console Application Project type on the right.4. Enter project name, for example ConsoleApplication1, project location, for

example Q: drive and click OK.5. Click Finish from the wizard that appears.The wizard generates the skeleton of an unmanaged C++ application.

To build the project, follow these steps:6. Choose Build, Build Solution or press F7

To run the project, follow these steps:7. Choose Debug, Start Without Debugging or press Ctrl+F5
