Imperative Programming: Introduction To C++

This document contains notes from a lecture on imperative programming and an introduction to C++. The lecture covers the basic parts of a C++ program, input/output objects like cout and cin, variables, arithmetic operators, and an example program that prompts the user for input and performs calculations. Students are given an exercise to convert a math algorithm into a C++ program to practice these concepts.

2.4 Variables (and Literals)

2.14 Arithmetic Operators

2.1 The Parts of a C++ Program
// sample C++ program comment
#include <iostream> preprocessor directive
using namespace std;
which namespace to use
int main()
beginning of function named main
{ beginning of block for main
cout << "Hello, there!"; output statement
return 0; string literal
} Send 0 to operating system
end of block for main

Special characters: // # < > { } "" ;


2.2 The cout Object
• Displays output on the computer screen

• You use the stream insertion operator << to send output


to cout:
cout << "Programming is fun!";
• Can be used to send more than one item to cout:
cout << "Hello " << "there!";
Or:
cout << "Hello ";
cout << "there!";
• This produces one line of output:
cout << "Programming is ";
cout << "fun!";
The endl Manipulator
• You can use the endl manipulator to start a new line of
output. This will produce two lines of output:
cout << "Programming is" << endl;
cout << "fun!";

• cout << "Programming is" << endl;


cout << "fun!";

Programming is
fun!
The \n Escape Sequence
• You can also use the \n escape sequence to start a new
line of output.

• This will produce two lines of output:

cout << "Programming is\n";


cout << "fun!";

Programming is
fun!
The #include Directive
• Inserts the contents of another file into the program
• This is a preprocessor directive, not part of C++
language

• #include lines not seen by compiler


• Do not place a semicolon at end of #include line

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
2.4 Variables
• Variable:
– a storage location in memory (one or more bytes)

– Has a name and a type of data it can hold

– Must be defined before it can be used, e.g.


int x;
e.g. of picture of memory and variables:

149

x is the name of memory block starting at location whose


address is 16, which holds the integer value 149
2.14 Arithmetic Operators
• Used for performing numeric calculations
• C++ has unary, binary, and ternary operators:
– unary (1 operand) -5
– binary (2 operands) 13 - 7
– ternary (3 operands) exp1 ? exp2 : exp3 (NOT GOOD)

Binary Arithmetic Operators


SYMBOL OPERATION EXAMPLE VALUE OF ans
+ addition ans = 7 + 3; 10
- subtraction ans = 7 - 3; 4
* multiplication ans = 7 * 3; 21
/ division ans = 7 / 3; 2
% modulus ans = 7 % 3; 1
Program example
//variable definition, input using cin & output using cout
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() variable
definition
{
int x, y;
input
cout << "Enter x value:";
using
cin >> x;
cin
y = x * 5;
cout << "x times 5 = "
<< y one
<< endl; output
return 0; statement
}
Class exercise
//program example Convert the following algorith
//------------------------ to a C++ program
#include <iostream>
Algorithm to read values into x
using namespace std;
and y and compute & display the
int main()
sum z = x + y
{
int x, y; 1. Prompt user to enter x
cout << "Enter x value:"; value
cin >> x; 2. Read x value
y = x * 5;
cout << "x times 5 = :" 3. Prompt user to enter y
<< y value
<< endl; 4. Read y value
return 0;
} 5. Compute z = x + y
6. Display the z value
Class exercise: solution
Convert the following #include <iostream>
algorith to a C++ program using namespace std;
int main()
Algorithm to read values into x {
and y and compute & display int x, y, z;
the sum z = x + y
cout << "Enter x value:";
cin >> x;
1. Prompt user to enter x
cout << "Enter y value:";
value
cin >> y;
2. Read x value
3. Prompt user to enter y z = x + y;
value cout << "x + y = " << z
4. Read y value << endl;
5. Compute z = x + y return 0;
6. Display the z value }
Class exercise: Demo of program
#include <iostream>
using namespace std; 1. Compile & run
int main()
{ 2. possible compilation
int x, y, z; errors

cout << "Enter x value:";


cin >> x;
cout << "Enter y value:";
cin >> y;

z = x + y;
cout << "x + y = " << z
<< endl;
return 0;
}
