Introduction to C Language

C++ is a popular, cross-platform programming language developed as an extension of C, known for its high performance and object-oriented features. It is widely used in various applications, including operating systems and game development, and offers a clear structure for code reuse. To start programming in C++, users need a text editor and a compiler, or they can use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for both editing and compiling code.

Introduction to C Language

• C++ is a popular programming language.


• C++ is used to create computer programs and is
one of the most used languages in game
development.
What is C++?

• C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create


high-performance applications.
• C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension to
the C language.
• C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system
resources and memory.
Why Use C++
• C++ is one of the world's most popular programming
languages.
• C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical
User Interfaces, and embedded systems.
• C++ is an object-oriented programming language which
gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be
reused, lowering development costs.
• C++ is portable and can be used to develop applications that
can be adapted to multiple platforms.
• C++ is fun and easy to learn!
Difference between C and C++

• C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both languages have almost the
same syntax.
• The main difference between C and C++ is that C++ support classes and
objects, while C does not.
C++ Get Started

• To start using C++, you need two things:


• A text editor, like Notepad, to write C++ code
• A compiler, like GCC, to translate the C++ code into a language that the
computer will understand
C++ Install IDE

• An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to edit AND compile


the code.
• Popular IDE's include Code::Blocks, Eclipse, and Visual Studio. These are all
free, and they can be used to both edit and debug C++ code.
C++ Quickstart

Let's create our first C++ file.


C++ Syntax
C++ Output (Print Text)
The cout object, together with the << operator, is used to output values/print text:
C++ New Lines
To insert a new line, you can use the \n character:
Tip: Two \n characters after each other will create a blank line:
C++ Comments
• Comments can be used to explain C++ code, and to make it
more readable. It can also be used to prevent execution when
testing alternative code. Comments can be singled-lined or
multi-lined.

• Single-line Comments
• Single-line comments start with two forward slashes (//).

• Any text between // and the end of the line is ignored by the compiler (will not be execute
C++ Multi-line Comments

• Multiple lines always starts with /* and ends with */.


• Any text between /* and */ will be ignored by the compiler.
• Single Line or Multi-line Comments?
• It’s up to you but we use single line comments ( / / ) for short
comments and multi-line comments (/* ,*/ ) for longer.
