Detailed Explanation of C++ Topics

2. Introduction to C++

This is the beginning of the C++ learning journey. It gives an overview of what C++ is, why it is used, and its

significance in programming today.

2.1 History of C++

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s at Bell Labs. It was initially called "C with

Classes" because it was built on the C language and added object-oriented features. Over time, it evolved

into C++, where "++" is a C operator meaning increment-symbolizing an enhancement of C.

2.1.1 Features of C++

- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

- Modularity

- Portability

- Rich Standard Library

- Efficiency

- Strongly Typed

- Multi-paradigm

2.2 Basic Structure of C++ Program

Includes preprocessor directives, the main function, and statements. Example:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

cout << "Hello, world!";


return 0;

2.2.1 Preprocessor Directive

Instructions like #include and #define handled before compilation.

2.2.2 Header Files

Standard files like <iostream>, <cmath> containing declarations for common functions.

2.2.3 main() Function

The entry point of every C++ program.

2.2.4 C++ Statements

Instructions such as declarations, assignments, control structures, and function calls.

2.2.5 Token

Smallest elements: Keywords, Identifiers, Literals, Operators, Separators.

2.2.6 White Spaces

Spaces, tabs, and newlines used for readability.

2.3 Turbo C++

Explains usage of the Turbo C++ IDE.

2.3.1 Installing Turbo C++

Steps to install Turbo C++ using DOSBox or native setup.


2.3.2 Initializing Turbo C++ IDE

Configuring settings like directories and editor options.

2.3.3 Setting up Directories

Assigning paths for source files and output.

2.3.4 Creating and Editing a C++ Program

Writing and modifying code in the built-in editor.

2.3.5 Saving a C++ Program

Saving with a .cpp extension.

2.3.6 Compiling a C++ Program

Translating code to machine-readable format.

2.3.7 Linking a C++ Program

Connecting object files with libraries.

2.3.8 Executing a C++ Program

Running the final compiled program.

2.4 Debugging in Turbo C++

Finding and fixing errors in code.

2.4.1 Types of Errors

- Syntax Errors

- Runtime Errors
- Logical Errors

2.4.2 Debugging Features of Turbo C++

Using breakpoints, step execution, and variable watch to debug effectively.
