Here you'll learn a very basic program. All you'll need is:
- A C++ compiler (possibly Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads)
- Some courage to write ;D
After get what I said, start coding!
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
}
We could also write the above code like this
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}
but the line 2 involves the concept of Namespaces, which is something a little complex for novice programmers! In C++, unlike C, the return keyword on the main() function is optional.
