This course is designed to introduce you to the C++ programming language. Throughout this course, you'll learn about C++ syntax, new keywords, classes, and their relationship with structs, as well as the implementation of methods.
- Grasp the basic syntax of C++.
- Comprehend the use of new keywords.
- Understand the structure and usage of classes.
- Learn how classes are related to and differ from structs.
- Explore how methods are defined and used within classes.
C++ syntax is the set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured programs in the language. Keywords are reserved words that have special meanings and uses.
Classes are user-defined types that contain variables and functions. Objects are instances of classes.
Structs and classes are fundamentally similar in C++, but they differ primarily in their default access control. Struct members are public by default, making them a good choice for passive data structures. In contrast, class members are private by default, enforcing encapsulation.
Methods are member functions of a class or struct that operate on its data members. In classes, they can be defined to perform tasks like calculations or modify the object's state.
- Good luck, and enjoy your journey into the world of C++ programming!
- Start building things and exploring new concepts.
