Learning C++

What is C++?

A C++ program is a collection of commands, which tell the computer to do "something". This collection of commands is usually called C++ source code, source code or just code. Commands are either "functions" or "keywords". Keywords are a basic building block of the language, while functions are, in fact, usually written in terms of simpler functions you'll see this in our very first program, below. if you confused don't worry it will all be clear soon because thankfully, C++ provides a great many common functions and keywords that you can use and are easy to learn such if for and while its basically English in it's imperative form. 


Getting started 

To get you started you need a IDE in layman's term this is the thing that you going to use to run and edit your code. Now there are many IDE out there you may pick one of your choice but for now i will be using Dev c++ as my ID you may try Code::Blocks if you want. if you don't have already one i suggest you using Dev ++ click here to download. If you're on Linux, you can use g++, and if you're on Mac OS X, you can use XCode, and by the time were your finish you feel like a programmer before you know it.

If you chose to get Dev C++ when you install it it should look like the below picture.

After we have finish install the IDE its time to code. we'll be covering the basics for now these include:
1. Data types
2. Output and input in C++
3. While, do while, for loops
4. Arrays
5. Pointers
7. Functions
8. Classes
And will also take suggest on topic to go through as well
