2Elementary C++ Programming

The chapter begins with a brief look at the history of C++ the language and its characteristics. Then we look at the basic elements that construct a C++ statement – character sets, keywords, identifiers, operators, etc. Program design mainly includes data structure design and algorithm design. Data types, data type conversion, and simple data input/ output are the basic knowledge elements of data. The chapter introduces basic C++ data types and user-defined data types. Algorithms consist of a series of control structures. The sequential, case, and loop structures described in this chapter are the most fundamental control structures in program design, and they are also the basis of complex algorithms.
