Basics of C++
PART 1 OF CHAPTER 2
Basics of C++
 In C++ programming, what follows after // symbols
on the same line is considered as a comment,
 Descriptions can be enclosed in between /* and */
as multiple lines of comments.
 It is done for the convenience of the reader.
 C++ is case sensitive ( i.e. A and a are different. )

 A statement ends by semicolon ( e.g. int x; )
 The compiler ignores all spaces and new line.
E.g. int x = 5; is the same as int x after compiled.

Primitive Data Types
Data type Range of values
byte -128 .. 127 (8 bits)
short -32,768 .. 32,767 (16 bits)
int -2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483,647 (32 bits)
long -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 .. ... (64 bits)
float +/-10-38 to +/-10+38 and 0, about 6 digits precision
double +/-10-308 to +/-10+308 and 0, about 15 digits precision
char Unicode characters (generally 16 bits per char)
boolean true or false (1 or 0)

Type Compatibility and Conversion
Widening conversion: In operations on mixed-type
operands, a numeric type of the smaller range is
converted to the numeric type of the larger range
 In an assignment, a numeric type of smaller range
can be assigned to a numeric type of larger range
 kind
→ byte to short to int to long kind to float to double
int i = 'a'; // Same as: int i = (int)'a';

char c = 97; // Same as: char c = (char)97;
int i = (int)5.4; // It is the same as the following:
int i = static_cast<int>(5.4); // so, truncate it to 5
cout << static_cast<double>(1) / 2; // displays 0.5
ASCII Character Set is a subset of the
Unicode from \u0000 to \u007f

Increment and Decrement Operators

Examples

Declaring and Setting Variables
Declaration Syntax: type variable_name;
E.g. int square; // declaring variable called square.
square = n * n;
Initialization Syntax:
type variable_name = value_or_expression;
E.g. double cube = n * (double)square;
 You can generally initialize local variables where
they are declared.
 All variables get a safe initial value anyway
(zero/null)

Example

Input and Output
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
int length, width; Rectangle
int area;
cout<< "Enter the length: ";
cin>> length;
cout<< "Enter the width: ";
cin>> width;
area = length * width;
cout<< "the area of the rectangle is: "<< area<< endl;
cout<< "the perimeter of the rectangle is: "<< (length + width)*2;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Input and Output
#include<iostream>
#include<math.h> Area of a triangle having sides a,
using namespace std; b and c is given by,
int main( ) s = ( a + b + c )/2
{ area = ( s * (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-
float a, b, c, s, area; c) )1/2
cout << "Enter length of three sides of triangle: ";

cin >> a >> b >> c;
s = (a + b + c) / 2;
area= sqrt( s * (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c) );
Triangle
cout << "Area = " << area << endl;
return 0;
}
Named Constants
Syntax:
const datatype CONSTANTNAME = value;
Circle

setw(width) manipulator

Exercise: write the output.
#include <iomanip> // for setw(m) that will put spaces m-times.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( )
{
int numb; //define loop variable
for(numb=1; numb<=10; numb++) //loop from 1 to 10
{
cout<< setw(4) << numb; //display 1st column
int cube = numb*numb*numb; //calculate cube
cout<< setw(6) << cube << endl; //display 2nd column
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
#include <stdio>
What looks the output like?
int main ( ) { Study how it became 👇
int n = 4, k = 2;
cout << ++n << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << n++ << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << -n << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << --n << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << n-- << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << n + k << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << k << endl;
cout << n << k << endl; cout << n << endl;
cout << " " << n << endl; cout << " n" << endl;
cout << "\n" << endl;
cout << " n * n = "; //CAREFUL!
cout << n * n << endl;
cout << 'n' << endl;
return 0;
}
continued
int x, a, b, c;
a = 2; What will be
b = 4;
c = 5; the value of
x = a-- + b++ - ++c; x?

continued
int x, a;
a = 2; Why x = 12?
x = ++a * --a * ++a;
 For the expression x = ++a*– –a*++a; you would expect

for a = 2, the x = 3 × 2 × 3, but it is equal to 2 × 2 × 3.
 Because value of a is first increased to 3 and then
decreased to 2 before the first multiplication. It is then
increased to 3 and multiplied to 12.
int x, a = 4;
Why x = 19?
x = ++a + ++a + ++a;

Expressions
PART 2 OF CHAPTER 2
Boolean expression
 What is a Boolean expression ?
 It is any expression that is either true or false.
 A Boolean expression consists of two or more

expressions, such as numbers or variables, which
are compared with one of the relational operators.
 Comparison or relational operators are shown below

Continued
 Notice that:- some of the relational operators are
spelled with two symbols.
 Such two-symbol operators should not have any
space between the two symbols.

Continued
 You can combine two or more comparisons using
the logic operators, such as: “and”, “or”, also “not”
spelled as &&, || and ! symbols respectively in C++.
 E.g.1, the following Boolean expression is true
provided x is greater than 2 and x is less than 7:
(2 < x) && (x < 7)
 E.g.2, the following Boolean expression is true
provided x is less than 2 and x is greater than 7:
(2 < x) || (x > 7)

Class Work
 Suppose, when you run the program, you enter the input
2 3 6 from the console. What is the output?

Continued
 If the first of two expressions joined with the || operator is
true, then you know the entire expression is true, no matter
whether the second expression is true or false.
 The C++ language uses this fact to sometimes save itself the
trouble of evaluating the second subexpression in a logical
expression connected with an && or || since C++ first
evaluates the leftmost of the two expressions.
 If that gives it enough information to determine the final
value of the expression (independent of the value of the
second expression), then C++ does not bother to evaluate the
second expression. This method of evaluation is called short-
circuit evaluation.

The bool
Data Type
 The result of the comparison is a Boolean value:
true or false.
 A variable that holds a Boolean value is known as a
Boolean variable.
 The bool data type declares a variable with the
value either true or false.
 Internally, C++ uses 1 to represent true and 0 for
false. If you display a bool value to the console, 1 is
displayed if the value is true and 0 if it is false.

Continued
 Assigning a numeric value to a bool variable in C++,
Any nonzero value evaluates to true and zero value
evaluates to false.
bool b1 = -1.5; // Same as bool b1 = true

bool b2 = 0; // Same as bool b2 = false
bool b3 = 1.5; // Same as bool b3 = true
 Show the printout of the following code:
bool b = true;
int i = b;
cout << b << endl;
cout << i << endl;
Quiz 1
1, Explain the differences exist in the expressions
below, given that x = 7 :
( 6 < x++ ) || ( ++x < 8 )
vs.
( 6 < x++ ) | ( ++x < 8 )
2, Both of the expressions are evaluating to 1, and

what will be the value of x latter, computing to
each expression separately?
3, !((y < 3) || (y > 7)) = !(y < 3) && !(y > 7)
