 Hello World in C++


Create your first C++ 'Hello world' example, just write and learn this simple program to get started with the c++ programming language and spend some time to learn this example. and say hello to c++ programming.


_____________________________________________________________

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
}

_____________________________________________________________

So let's examine each part of this code in detail:

  • #include <iostream> 
iostream is a standard library header file which contains the definitions of the standard input and output streams. And these definitions are included in the std namespace.

 


The standard input/output (I/O) streams provide ways for programs to get input from and output to an external system -- usually the terminal.

 _____________________________________________________________


  • int main() { ... 
  • defines a new function named main. By convention, the main function is called upon execution of the program. There must be only one main function in a C++ program, and it must always return a number of the int type.

And here is int main() called as a function return type.

 

  • If no return statement is declared, then the program itself returns 0 by default as a return type, We don't need to explicitly return 0;
_____________________________________________________________

  • std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl; prints "Hello World!" to the standard output stream:

  • std is a namespace, and :: is the space resolution operator which allows look-ups for an object by name within a namespace.
There are many namespace.

  •  std::cout is the standard output stream object, defined in iostream, and it prints to the standard output (stdout).
        For Example : 
                                cout<<"This text will print on terminal"<<endl;

  • This statement will print "This text will print on terminal" end controllers will go on next line because of end; statement.
_____________________________________________________________

  • \n will be responsible for new character escape sequence for the newline characters.
            For Example : cout<<:Hello Word\n";

Comments In C++

Comments are used to show programming instructions, Everything you put in comment will be ignored and compiler will not execute those written statement. 

There are two types of comments in C++

Single line Comments 

We use double forward-slash // for single-line comment until a newline comes

// declaring a variable
int age;

// initializing the variable 'a' with the value 2
age = 2;


Multiple line Comments

We use /* for starting for comment and */ for ending the comment 

/* declaring a variable
to store salary to employees
*/
int salary = 2000;


Why comments are important?

  • It makes code easier to read and maintain.
  • Expose the functionality of code
  • Can show history of code or reasoning behind the code
  • can give credits, notes and contributes directly in comments



  • Here we learn how to write your first C++ hello world program and commenting in c++, Now next we will learn about c++ data types and variables
