LECTURE NOTES

1. Programming with C++
 Text book and reference
 C++ introduction
 An example program

2. References
 Textbook

Edition), Higher Education Press, originally published

3. Course scope
 C++98/C++03.
 First as an internal standard.
 STL included.
 C++11
 C++14
 C++17
 C++20

4. If compared with C
 Like any human language, C++
provides a way to express
concepts. If successful, this
medium of expression will be
significantly easier and more
flexible than the alternatives as
problems grow larger and more
complex

5. Feature of C++
 Reasons why C++ is so complex:
 Compatible with C
 static type system
 pursue the highest performance
 Drawbacks:
 Difficult to learn
 Not suitable to develope enterprise managerment
software

6. Application Examples
 Adobe: Photoshop,Illustrator, Acrobat…
 Maya
 Autodesk
 Amazon.com
 Google
 HP:C,C++,Fortran compilers, …
 IBM:OS/400
 Intel: compilers and optimizers
 Microsoft: Windows XP,NT,Office,IE,VC…
C# compiler
 MySQL
 DOOM III
 KDE

7. Methodology
 Understand the organization of the book ：
 avoid the drawbacks of C ；
 More effective programming;
 Understand the features of the book
 detailed, toy examples, native writing style
 grasp the main idea, omitting the trivial details.
 Listen, read and program (question)

8. C++ development environment(linux)
 Editor + Compiler
 Editors: gedit, tilde, …
 Compilers: gcc, clang.
 IDE
 VS code
 QtCreator
 Eclipse(CDT)
 Kdevelope
 Codelite, CodeBlocks

9. #include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "hello worldn";
return 0;
}

10. Build procedure
 To verify whether g++ has been installed.
 g++ --version
 g++ test.cpp
 Don’t use gcc
 ./a.out
