Creating a C++ Program
 C++ program has two parts:
 Preprocessor Directives
 The Program
 Preprocessor directives and program statements
constitute C++ source code
 Source code must be saved in a file with the file extension
.cpp
 Compiler generates the object code and saved in a file
with file extension .obj
 Executable code is produced and saved in a file with the
file extension .exe
3
Creating a C++ Program
 Preprocessor Directives
 Many functions and symbols needed to run a C++ program
are provided as collection of libraries.
 Every library has a name and is referred to by a header file
 Preprocessor directives are commands supplied to the
preprocessor
 All preprocessor commands begin with #
 No semicolon at the end of these commands
 Syntax to include a header file
#include <headerFileName>
 Causes the preprocessor to include the header file
iostream in the program
 The syntax is:
#include <iostream>
4
Creating a C++ Program
 Header Files and Namespace std
 ANSI C++ removes the extension .h in the header
files
 The descriptions of the functions needed to perform
I/O are contained in iostream
 cin and cout are declared in the header file
iostream, but within a namespace named std
 To use cin and cout in a program, use the following
two statements:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
5
Creating a C++ Program
 The program part
 Every C++ program has a function main
 Basic parts of function main are:
 The heading
 The body of the function
 The heading part has the following form:
typeOfFunction main(argument list)
 Example:

6
Creating a C++ Program
 Variables can Declaration statements have the following
syntax:
int a, b, c;
double x, y;
 be declared anywhere in the program but they must be
declared before they can be used.
 Executable statements have three forms:
 Assignment statement
a = 4;
 Input statement
cin >> b;
 Output statement
cout << a << " " << b << endl;
7
Program Style and Form
 Use of Blanks
 One or more blanks separate input numbers
 Blanks are also used to separate reserved words and identifiers
from each other and other symbols
 Blanks between identifiers in the second statement are
meaningless:
int a,b,c;
int a, b, c;
 In the statement: inta,b,c;
 no blank between the t and a changes the reserved
word int and the identifier a into a new identifier,
inta.
8
Program Style and Form
 Commas separate items in a list
 All C++ statements end with a semicolon
 Semicolon is also called a statement terminator
 { and } are not C++ statements
 Consider two ways of declaring variables:
 Method 1
int feet, inch;
double x, y;
 Method 2
int a,b;double x,y;
 Both are correct, however, the second is hard to read.

9
Documentation
 Comments can be used to document code Single line
comments begin with // anywhere in the line
//This program has two functions
 Multiple line comments are enclosed between /* and */
 Name identifiers with meaningful names
 Run-together-words can be handled either by using CAPS
for the beginning of each new word or an underscore
before the new word
numOfStudent
size_item

10
Basic Operations
 6 types of operations in programming:
1. Receive input (e.g cin)
2. Produce output (e.g cout)
3. Assign value into storage (e.g equation sign is used
to assign value to variable, a = 2, weight = 5)
4. Perform arithmetic and logic operation (e.g
symbols like + - * / and || && !=)
5. Make selection (e.g if, if-else, switch)
6. Repeating a set of actions (e.g for, while, do-while)

11
Program Elements
 A C++ program is a collection of one or more subprograms,
called functions.
 Every C++ program has a function called main
 Generally a computer program has the following elements:
1. Input section
2. Storage allocation
 Constants
 Variables
 Data Structures
 Files
3. Processing using arithmetic or logic operation and control
with either sequential, selection or and repetition structure.
4. Output Section

12
Program Elements
int number1, number2, total;
Computer program
cin >> number1 >> number2;

total = number1 + number2;

cout << total << endl

Arithmetic Logic

total = number1 + number2;

Input Output
Processing
cin >> number1 >> number2; cout << total << endl

constant

Storage variable

int number1, number2, total;

13
Reserved words or Keywords
 Reserved words
 Symbols which are defined to have a unique meaning within a C++
program.
 These symbols (reserved words) must not be used for any other
purposes.
 Examples:
int float double case char
void return using sizeof true
false break while not long
void switch catch continue for
 Special symbols
Examples :
+ - * / ; , . ? <= != == >=

14
Storage
 One of the essential resource of a program
 A location in computer memory that is allocated to the
program
 Used to hold value of specific data type
 Categories:
 Constants
 Variables
 Data Structure
 Files
 Data Types
 Integer number
 Floating point number
 Character

15
Storage (cont.) - Identifier
 Identifier is the name given to specific storage
 Identifiers consist of letters, digits, and the underscore
character ( _ )
 Must begin with a letter or underscore
 C++ is case sensitive
 Some predefined identifiers are cout and cin
 Unlike reserved words, predefined identifiers may be redefined,
but it is not a good idea
int number;
Data type Identifier

16
Storage (cont.) - Identifier
 Examples of valid or legal identifiers
number1
averageScore
latest_CGPA

 Examples of invalid or illegal identifiers

17
Storage (cont.) - Constant
 Constant
 To hold fixed value that cannot be altered during program
execution.
 Examples:
PI value  3.1416
Number of days per week  7
 Constant declaration:
const keyword is used to declare a constant and it must be
initialized.
<data type> const <identifier> = value;
 Example:
float const PI = 3.1416;

18
Storage (cont.) - Variable
 Variables
 To hold value that might be altered during program execution.
 Hold value on temporary basis
 Examples:
 score
 Temperature
 speedOfVehicle
 Length
 Variable declaration:
<data type> <identifier> [= initial value];
 Example:
int number;
float score1, score2;
int score;
float number;
int count = 0;

19
Storage (cont.) – Data Structure
 Data Structure
 An array or a pointer
 An array is a contagious memory locations that hold
more than one values of the same type.
 Hold value on temporary basis
 Examples:
 Name
 A set of students’ score
char name[20];
int score[20];

20
Storage (cont.) – Data Type
 Data Type : a set of values together with a set of
operations is called a data type

 C++ data can be classified into three categories:

 Simple data type (focus on this type)

 Structured data type

 Pointers

21
Storage (cont.) – Data Type
 Three categories of simple data types
 Integral: integers (numbers without a decimal)
 Floating-point: decimal numbers
 Enumeration type: user-defined data type

22
int Data Type bool Data Type char Data Type
 Examples:  bool type  The smallest integral data
-6728 type
 Has two values,
0 true and false  Used for characters:
78 letters, digits, and special
 Manipulate logical symbols
 Positive integers do not (Boolean)
have to have a + sign in expressions  Each character is
front of them enclosed in single quotes
 true and false are
 No commas are used  Some of the values
called logical values
within an integer belonging to char data
 Commas are used for  bool, true, and type are: 'A', 'a', '0',
separating items in a list false are reserved '*', '+', '$', '&'
words  A blank space is a
character and is written
' ', with a space left
between the single quotes
Storage (cont.) – Data Type
 Floating-Point Data Types
 C++ uses scientific notation to represent real numbers
(floating-point notation)
float Data Type
 float: represents any real
number
 Range: -3.4E+38 to
3.4E+38
 Memory allocated for the
float type is 4 bytes
 Maximum number of
significant digits (decimal
places) for float values is 6
or 7
 Float values are called single
precision
double Data Type
 double: represents any real
number
 Range: -1.7E+308 to 1.7E+308
 Memory allocated for double
type is 8 bytes
 On most newer compilers, data
types double and long double
are same
 Maximum number of significant
digits for double is 15
 Double values are called double
precision
 Precision: maximum number of
significant digits
Storage (cont.) – Data Type
 Basic Data Types C++ Data Types
 Integer (90, 0, -78) int or long
 Floating point (4.5,1.0,-0.67) float or double
 Character (‘A’, ‘a’, ‘*’, ‘1’) char

 Examples
int number;
int score;
long population;
float temperature;
double accountBalance;
char gender;

26
Input and Output
 Input Statement
 To received input from keyboard or read input from a
file.
 Data must be loaded into main memory before it can be
manipulated
 Storing data in memory is a two-step process:
 Instruct the computer to allocate memory
 Include statements to put data into allocated memory
 Using cin keyword and input stream (extraction) operator
(>>).
 Syntax:
cin >> <variable>;

 Example
cin >> number;
cin >> number1 >> number2;
cin >> weight;
cin >> height;

27
Input and Output (cont.)

 Example of a good input statement:

Prompt to the user to enter a value

cout << “Enter a score : ”;

cin >> score;

Read a value from the user

28
Input and Output (cont.)
 Output Statement
 To display output on screen or to write output into file.
 Using cout keyword and output stream (insertion) operator
(<<).
 Syntax:
cout << <string|constant|variable|expression>;

 Statements Output
cout << “Hello World”; Hello World
cout << 80; 80
cout << area; content of area
cout << 8 + 4; 12

29
Input and Output (cont.)
 Output Statement
 What is the output of the following statements?
 Statements Output
cout << “Total is ” << 8 + 2; ?
cout << “8 + 2 = ” << 8 + 2; ?

30
Input and Output (cont.)

 End of line
 endl keyword causes cursor to move to beginning the the
next line.
 New Line character (‘\n’) forces the cursor to be
positioned at the beginning of the new line.
 Examples:
 Code fragment Output
cout << 14; 1416
cout << 16;
cout << 14 << endl; 14
cout << 16 << endl; 16

cout << 14 << ‘\n’; 14

cout << 16 << ‘\n’; 16

31
Input and Output (cont.)

32
Arithmetic Operations
 FIVE basic operations:
 Addition (+)  Sum of two numbers
 Subtraction (-)  Different of two numbers
 Multiplication (*)  Product of two numbers
 Division (/)  Quotient of two numbers
 Modulo (%)  Remainder of division operation

33
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)
 Examples
int number1, number2;
int sum, different, product, quotient, reminder;
number1 = 8;
number2 = 4;

sum = number1 + number2;

different = number1 - number2;
product = number1 * number2;
quotient = number1 / number2;
remainder = number1 % number2;

 Invalid Statement!
number1 + number2 = total
34
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)
 Integer Division
 IF two integers are divided, the result will be an integer number. Any
fraction will be truncated.
int / int  int
Example:

int a = 5, b = 2;
float c;
c = a / b; //the new value of c is 2

cout << a / b; //2 will be displayed

35
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)
 Data type conversion
To avoid the effect of integer division the data type must be
converted to float.
Example:

int a = 5, b = 2,
float c;
c = float(a) / b; //the new value of c is 2.5
c = a / float(b); //the new value of c is 2.5

//2.5 will be displayed

cout << float(a) / b;
cout << a / float(b);

c = float(a / b); //2.0 will be stored in c

cout << float (a / b); //2.0 will be displayed

36
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)

 Type Conversion (Casting)

- store a value into a variable of a different type
- example : if you want to store a double value into an int variable
- expressed using static_cast keyword as follows :

static_cast<data_type>(expression)

- example :
int n = static_cast<int>(x + 0.5)

37
 Arithmetic Operations (cont.)

38
Example :
#include <iostream.h>
//program to calculate area of a circle PI 3.1416

main()
{ radius ?
//variable and constant allocation
float const PI = 3.1416; area ?
float radius, area;

//input section
cout << “Enter a radius : ”;
cin >> radius;

area = PI * radius * radius; //processing

//output section
cout << “Area of the circle is ” << area << endl;

return 0;
}//end main()

39
Example :
#include <iostream.h>
//program to calculate area of a circle PI 3.1416

main()
{ radius ?
//variable and constant allocation
float const PI = 3.1416; area ?
float radius, area;

//input section
cout << “Enter a radius : ”; Enter a radius : 8
cin >> radius;

area = PI * radius * radius; //processing

//output section
cout << “Area of the circle is ” << area << endl;

return 0;
}//end main()

40
Examples
#include <iostream.h>
//program to calculate area of a circle PI 3.1416
main()
{ radius 8
//variable and constant allocation
float const PI = 3.1416;
float radius, area; area 201.0624

//input section
cout << “Enter a radius : ”;
cin >> radius;

area = PI * radius * radius; //processing

//output section
cout << “Area of the circle is ” << area <<
endl;
Enter a radius : 8
return 0; Area of the circle is 201.0624
}//end main()

 Assignment statement is the most basic C++ statement
 Store the value of an expression in a variable
 Use Assignment Operator (=)
 Syntax:

variable = <variable|constant|expression>

 Expression can be :
i. a constant
ii. another variable
iii. an arithmetic expression
iv. a function

51
Assignment Statement (cont.)
 Exercise 1:
Write a program that takes input of length in feet. The
program should then convert and display the length in
centimeter. Assume that the given lengths in feet is integer.
Answer: lengthInCM = lengthInFeet * 30.48;
 Exercise 2:

Answer: areaCircle = 3.14 * r * r;

52
Assignment Statement (cont.)
Variations of Assignment Operation :
 We can have assignment statement like this :
sum = sum + 10;

 This statement can be written using the following shortcut

assignment operators :

+= -= /= %= *=

 Hence, the equivalent “sum = sum + 10”, would be :

sum += 10;

53
Assignment Statement (cont.)

Expression Equivalent to
price = price * rate;
count = count + 3
amount /= 2;
price *= rate + 1

54
Assignment Statement (cont.)

 Answers :

Expression Equivalent to
price = price * rate; price *= rate;
count = count + 3 count += 3
amount /= 2; amount = amount / 2;
price *= rate + 1 price = price * (rate + 1)
but not
price = price * rate + 1

55
Assignment Statement (cont.)
 For a variable to increase or decrease by 1, C++ provides
two unary operators :
(++) : increment operator
(--) : decrement operator

Expression Equivalent to
i = i + 1  ++i (prefix increment operator)
If x = 5; and y = ++x;
After the second statement both x and y are 6
 i++ (postfix increment operator)
If x = 5; and y = x++;
After the second statement y is 5 and x is 6
i = i - 1 --i

Arithmetic Operators
 C++ Operators
+ addition
- subtraction
* multiplication
/ division
% remainder (mod operator)
 +, -, *, and / can be used with integral and floating-
point data types
 Unary operator - has only one operand
 Binary Operator - has two operands
Order of Precedence
 All operations inside of () are evaluated first
 *, /, and % are at the same level of precedence and are
evaluated next
 + and – have the same level of precedence and are
evaluated last
 When operators are on the same level
 Performed from left to right

4
Mathematical Library Functions
 Header file cmath (math.h)
#include <cmath>
 used in the following form :
function_name(argument)

Example :
sqrt(16) //square root of x
fabs(2.3 * 4.6) //absolute value |x|
tan(x) //tangent of x
floor(x) //largest integer <= x

64
Formatting Program Output
 Besides displaying correct results, it is extremely
important for a program to present its output attractively.
 To include manipulators within an output display, must
include the header file using the preprocessor command
as follows :
#include <iomanip>
 Most commonly used manipulators in a cout statement :

65
Formatting Program Output
Manipulator Action
endl Manipulator moves output to the beginning of the next
line
setfill(‘x’) Sets the fill character from its default of a blank space to
the character x
setprecision(n) Outputs decimal numbers with up to n decimal places
showpoint forces output to show the decimal point and trailing
zeros
scientific Use exponential notation on output
left Left justify output
fixed Outputs floating-point numbers in a fixed decimal format
setw Outputs the value of an expression in specific columns

66
 Formatting Program Output
Manipulator Examples
endl cout << “Hello world!” << endl;
setfill(‘x’) cout << setfill(‘x’) << setw (10) << 8;
setw
setprecision(n) cout << setprecision(5) << 3.14159;
showpoint cout << showpoint << 30;
noshowpoint
scientific cout << scientific << 3.1416;
left cout << setw(15) << left << 3.1416;
right
fixed cout << fixed << setprecision(5) << 3.14159;

67
String Manipulations
 String input
- header file :
#include <cstring>

- can be declared and initialized as :

string name;
name = “Abdul”;

or to read a string from the keyboard

cout << “What is your name ?”;
cin >> name;

68
String Manipulations
 String function :
string-name.length():
- to know the numbers of character in a string

string-name.substr(m,n):
- to extract substring from a full string

 String concatenation : using symbol ‘+’

- joining two or more strings together to
become one long string.
const string hello = "Hello";
const string message = hello +
",world" +
"!";
