I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:

Know the structure of C++ program

Define programming terminologies
Familiar with the use of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to develop C++ programs
Know the console output and escape sequences
Use the console input
Enumerate and define the data types used in developing C++ programs
Enumerate Operators & Expression and know they are used
Know the order of precedence and associatively.
Declare a variable

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Structure of a C++ program
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{ cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
// my first program in C++
This is a comment line. All lines beginning with two slash signs (//) are considered
comments and do not have any effect on the behavior of the program.
#include <iostream>
Lines beginning with a hash sign (#) are directives for the preprocessor. This specific
file (iostream) includes the declarations of the basic standard input-output library in
C++.
cout << "Hello World!";
This line is a C++ statement. A statement is a simple or compound expression that can
actually produce some effect.
Each statement must be terminated by a semicolon (;)
return 0;
The return statement causes the main function to finish, return may be followed by a
return code 0;
