Enter the world of computer programming with this step-by-step guide to the C++ language! C++ is a great introduction to object-oriented programming, and this friendly guide covers everything you need to know and nothing you don’t. You’ll write your first program by the end of Chapter 1.
C++ For Dummies, 6th Edition , helps you understand C++ programming from the ground up. It’s full of examples to show you how things work, and it even explains “why”, so you understand how the pieces fit together. And the bonus CD includes a special code editor, an update GNU compiler, and all source code from the book to save you time. Learn programming lingo and what terms like object-oriented, compiler, and executable mean, so you can write a program right away See how to bundle sections of your code into modules that can be reused in different programs Work with features of object-oriented programming such as classes, constructors, and destructors Discover how the concept of inheritance is the key to effective C++ programming Work with assignment operators, stream I/O, and other more advanced concepts, once you’ve grasped the basics
You’ll discover ten ways to avoid adding bugs to your programs, what pointers are and how to use them, how to work with strings, and some advanced features new to C++. C++ For Dummies, 6th Edition gets you up and running with this popular object-oriented language.

C++ For Dummies
Chapter One
Writing Your First C++ Program
In This Chapter
* Finding out about C++
* Installing Dev-CPP from the accompanying CD-ROM
* Creating your first C++ program
* Executing your program
Okay, so here we are: No one here but just you and me. Nothing left to do but get started. Might as well lay out a few fundamental concepts.
A computer is an amazingly fast but incredibly stupid machine. A computer can do anything you tell it (within reason), but it does exactly what it's told - nothing more and nothing less.
Perhaps unfortunately for us, computers don't understand any reasonable human language - they don't speak English either. Okay, I know what you're going to say: "I've seen computers that could understand English." What you really saw was a computer executing a program that could meaningfully understand English. (I'm still a little unclear on this computer-understanding-language concept, but then I don't know that my son understands my advice, either, so I'll let it slide.)
Computers understand a language variously known as computer language or machine language. It's possible but extremely difficult for humans to speak machine language. Therefore, computers and humans have agreed to sort of meet in the middle, using intermediate languages such as C++. Humans can speak C++ (sort of), and C++ is converted into machine language for the computer to understand.
Grasping C++ Concepts
In the early 1970s, a consortium of really clever people worked on a computer system called Multix. The goal of Multix was to give all houses inexpensive compu
