C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in
the world and is used by large companies and government
agencies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Netflix and NASA
for building performance critical applications such as video
games, device drivers, web browsers, servers and
operating systems. While C++ may seem intimidating to
some, you don't need to learn all of it in order to write
substantial programs. In this course we'll explore major
functionalities in the standard library, a collection of pre-
written code that provides functionality that many
applications require. We'll also be using an Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) which includes an editor
for writing code. To get started, select the free version of
Clion and head over to jetbrains.com/clion/download to
download it - then you can activate your license or use
one of the free alternatives.
C++ is a case sensitive language, which means it is sensitive to
uppercase and lowercase letters; so make sure to type exactly as
shown. The main function returns an integer, which is a whole
number like 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on; within the braces we have written
the code for this function. The value that this function returns tells
the operating system if our program terminated successfully or not.
The standard library has different files each serving a purpose; as
you go through the course you will learn more about the other files
in the standard library. To create a console application, which is
easier for people learning a new language, remember patience is
the first skill of a good programmer; if your code does not get
compiled pay close attention to this video. Once you understand the
basics of C++ you will be ready to move on to writing applications
with a graphical user interface if that is what you want.
The ultimate C++ course is the first part of my complete C++
series. Each part is about three to four hours long, so you can easily
complete it in a day or two. By the end of this series, you will have a
solid understanding of C++ and you'll be ready to apply it in real life
- for example, if you want to build games with Unreal Engine, a
popular gaming engine. To declare a variable in C++, first we have
