Introduction to C++ π
What is C++ Programming Language ?
-
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.
-
It is developed at AT and T's Bell Lab (USA) in 1979
-
The language was updated 4 major times in 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020 to C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20.
-
C++ is fun and easy to learn!
-
As C++ is close to C# and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to C++ or vice versa.
Application of C++
-
Developing Games
-
Operating Syatems
-
Compilers and Editors
-
Database Systems and Interpreters
-
Graphics Packages
-
Network Drivers
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
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to edit AND compile the code.
Popular IDE's include:
Code::Blocks
, Eclipse
, and Visual Studio Code
.
These are all free, and they can be used to both edit and debug C++ code.
I will be using Visual Studio Code
in this Project, which I believe is a good place to start.
You can find the latest version of VSCode at https://code.visualstudio.com/.
Follow this process to install and setup VSCode , which will install the text editor with a compiler.
- Let's create our first C++ file.
- Open VSCode and go to File > New Text File.
- Write the following C++ code and save the file as myfirstprogram.cpp (File > Save File as):
// myfirstprogram.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
- In VSCode, it should look like this:
- Then, go to Run > Run to run (execute) the program.
- Congratulations! You have now written and executed your first C++ program.
Introduction to C π
What is C Programming Language ?
-
C is a general-purpose programming language created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972.
-
It is a very popular language, despite being old.
-
C is strongly associated with UNIX, as it was developed to write the UNIX operating system.
-
Both C/C++ has the same features and applications
NOTE C and C++ uses the same compiler and IDE
- Let's create our first C file.
- Open VSCode and go to File > New Text File.
- Write the following C code and save the file as myfirstprogram.c (File > Save File as):
// myfirstprogram.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
Differences between and π
-
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++/C Compiler on different OS π
For Windows, Linux and MacOS
- Install
VSCode
by going to there official website, VSCode
For Andriod OS
- Install
C4Droid
on playstore, C4Droid
For IOS
- Visit Appstore and download C/C++ Program Compiler
