Notes:
Writing to the Console and Formatting Output in C++
Use std::cout to display output on the console.
Use std::endl or \n to move to the next line.
Use std::setw() and std::setfill() to format output.
Fundamental Data Types in C++: An Overview
C++ has several fundamental data types, including int, float, double, and char.
int is used for integers, float and double for decimal numbers, and char for single characters.
Declaring and Initializing Variables in C++
Use the following format to declare and initialize a variable: data_type variable_name =
value;
It is best practice to initialize variables at the time of declaration.
Using Constants to Prevent Accidental Modifications
Constants are variables that cannot be modified after initialization.
To declare a constant, use the const keyword: const data_type constant_name = value;
Working with Variables and Data Types in C++
Be aware of the size and range of short and integer types in C++.
Use the correct data type for the task at hand to ensure precision and avoid errors.
Understanding Operator Precedence and Using Parentheses
Different operators have different precedence in C++.
Use parentheses to control the order of operations and ensure accurate results.
