In the 1970s, Dennis
Ritchie of Bell
Laboratories was
developing a new
operating system. He
realized that he needed
a programming
language that was
concise and that
produced compact and
speedy programs to
make his work faster.
Because of this, Ritchie
developed a
programming language
called C.

the doctoral program at the computing
laboratory of Cambridge University. Stroustrup
designed C++ to make programming easier and
more convenient for programmers.
BRIEF HISTORY
Bjarne Stroustup wanted to add features in
the subset of C++ that support object-
oriented programming concepts. He
succeeded in his goal which is nowadays
called the C++ language with object-
oriented approach.

TO CREATE A SIMPLE PROGRAM USING C++ PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, YOU

NEED TO KNOW THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO
CONSTRUCT USEFUL PROGRAMS.

Types of Comments:

A. Double-slash (//) comment tells the compiler to ignore everything that follows the
double slash until the end of the line.

B. Slash-star (/*) comment mark tells the compiler to ignore everything that follows
until it finds a star-slash (*/) comment mark. This mark will be referred to as C-style
comment. Every /* must be matched with a closing */.

An identifier is the name of C++ entity such as variables and functions. There are rules in writing
identifiers:
An identifier must begin with a letter of the alphabet (a to z or A to Z), or the underscore
character ( _ ).
The first character of the identifier may be followed by any letter of the alphabet, any digit (0
to 9), or underscore character ( _ ).
The identifier has no limit on the number of characters it may have.
C++ is case-sensitive. The identifiers Total, total, and TOTAL are all different.
If an identifier consists of two or more words, we may do any of the following:
a. Use underscore to separate the words.
b. Capitalize the first character of each word except the first.
