Programming Fundamentals

Lecture # 2
Lecture Content
• Basic structure of C++ Program
• Cin statements
• Cout statements
• Errors
• Comments
• Lab Exercise

2
Basic structure of C++ Program
• The format of writing program in C++ is
called its structure. It consists of the
following parts:

– Preprocessor directive
– Main() function
– Program body (C++ statements)

3
Preprocessor Directive
• Preprocessor directive is an instruction given
to the compiler before the execution of actual
program.
• The preprocessor directives are processed by
a program known as preprocessor. It is part of
C++ compiler.
• It modifies C++ source program before
compilation.
• The preprocessor directive start with #
symbol.

4
Include preprocessor
In C++ Include preprocessor is used to
include header file in program.
• #include <iostream>
• The above statement tells the compiler
to include the file iostream in source
program before compiling.

5
Header files
• Libraries which contains different types of predefined
functions.
• Many header files can be included in one program.
• The header file must be included in the program
before calling any of its functions in the program.
• The extension of a header file is .h.
• These files are provided by C++ compiler system.
• The header files are normally stored in INCLUDE
subdirectory. The name of header file is written in
angle brackets.

6
main() Function
• Main function is starting point of the
program.
• Also it called entry point of the program.

void main()
{
Body of main function
}

7
cout and cin statements
These are predefined statements which help us to
perform input output operations.
Cout statement:
– Use to display output on console
– Operator used(<<) in cout statement is called
insertion operator.
Cin statement:
– Used to take input from user.
– Operator used(>>) in cin statement is called
extraction operator.

– Header file for these statement is “iostream”

cout examples
1. cout << "Output sentence"; // prints
Output sentence on screen
2. cout << 120; // prints number 120 on
screen
3. cout << x; // prints the value of x on
screen
4. cout << "Hello"; // prints Hello
5. cout << Hello; // prints the content of
variable Hello
9
cout examples(Cont…)
6. cout << "This " << " is a " << "single C+
+ statement“.
7. cout << "I am " << age << " years old
and my zipcode is " << zipcode;
8.cout << "First sentence.\n";
cout << "Second sentence.\nThird
sentence.";
9. cout << "First sentence." << endl;
cout << "Second sentence." << endl;
10
cin examples
1. int age;
cin >> age;
2. cin >> a
3. cin >> a; cin >> b >> a;
4. #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{ int i;
cout << "Please enter an integer value: ";
cin >> i;
cout << "The value you entered is " << i;
cout << " and its double is " << i*2 << ".\n";
return 0;
11 }
Types of error
• Error is a abnormal condition whenever
it occurs execution of the program is
stopped these are mainly classified into
following types.

– Compile time errors
– Run time errors
– Logical errors

12
Compile-time error causes
Those error which comes at compile time e.g.

• Syntax errors
• Type checking errors
• (Rarely) compiler crashes

13
Run-time error causes

Which comes during the execution of the


program e.g.

• Division by zero
• Dereferencing a null pointer
• Running out of memory

14
Comments
• Program comments are explanatory
statements that you can include in the
C++ code. These comments help
anyone reading the source code. All
programming languages allow for some
form of comments.
• C++ supports single-line and multi-line
comments. All characters available
inside any comment are ignored by C++
compiler.
15
Comments(Examples)
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Int main()
{
cout << "Hello World"; // prints Hello World
return 0;
}

16
Comments(Examples)
/* This is a comment */

/* C++ comments can also * span multiple


lines */

17
Lab Exercise
1. Overview of visual studio
2. How to create C++ Project
Note: Project should be empty in start
3. How we can compile our code in visual
studio.
4. How we can run/execute our code in
visual studio.

18
Lab Exercise(Cont…)
• Write C++ code to print your name and age on
consol.
• Write and run a program to print your first name
on the first line, your middle name on the
second line and your last name on the third line
using only cout statement.
• Write program to display following pattern(You
can use only cout statement).
*************
*************
*************
19 *************
Lab Exercise(Cont…)
• Write a program that produces the
following output:

20
Lab Exercise(Cont…)
• Write C++ code which take your age as
an input and display following
statement,
“My age is 25”.
Note: Use proper commenting

• Write a C++ statement that stores the


average of num1, num2, and num3,
into average.
