The document serves as an introduction to a programming course focused on C++, outlining its objectives, recommended resources, and grading criteria. It covers the history and features of C++, basic programming concepts, including the first C++ program, escape sequences, and comments. The course aims to provide foundational knowledge rather than expert-level programming skills.

10. Introduction and History of C++
 C++ is a programming language
 It was developed by Dennis Riche at Bell’s Lab in
1971.
 In C++, we can make new software or programs.
 Program is a set of instructions, which performs any
particular task.

11. Introduction and History of C++
 Before C++, there were so many
languages which were being used by the
programmers like GW Basic, Pascal, and
Fortran etc. But after the birth of C++,
it becomes more famous than all other
languages. So many of the programmers
divorced the other languages and
happily married with C++.

12. Features of C Language
 C++ is middle level language.
 C++ is case sensitive language.
 C++ has compiler as a language translator.
 C++ is hybrid language (Combination of
structured as well as Object orientation
paradigm)

13. First Program of C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;
int main ()
{
cout <<"Hello World... n " ;
system ("PAUSE") ;
return 0 ;
}

14. Explanation of First Program
#: It is a preprocessor directive
include: It is a name of directory
iostream: Built-in file
using : Keyword
Namespace: For directory
Std: library file
int: data type
main (): Entry point for every C++ / C program
{ // Open curly bracket of the main function
cout: output stream
<<: Operator
system (“PAUSE”): Built-in Function
}// Closing curley brackets

15. Compile and Execute
• For compilation press F9
• For compilation as well as execution press F10
• Compilation and Execution F11
• For saving the program go to file and click on save.
• By default file is saved with the extension of .CPP.

16. Escape Sequences
• Certain special characters are represented as escape sequences.
• An escape sequence begins with a (backslash) followed by an
alphanumeric character.
• List of Escape Sequence characters
• n New Line
• t Horizontal tab
• r Carriage return
• ” Double quotes
• ’ Single quote
• a Alert
• b Back space
• f Form feed
• v Vertical tab
• Back Slash
• ? Question Mark
• 000 Octal Number
• xhh HEXA decimal number

17. Comments
• Single line comments
• //
• Multiple line comments
• /* */
