Basic C++ concepts

  Syntax Structure: C++ programs typically have the following structure: #include <header files> using namespace std; int main() { // Code goes here return 0; } Comments: Single-line comments: // Multi-line comments: /* */ Semicolons: End every statement with a semicolon (;). Data Types Fundamental types: int: Integers (whole numbers) float: Floating-point numbers (decimals) double: Double-precision floating-point numbers char: Single characters bool: Boolean values (true or false) Modifier types: signed: Represents both positive and negative values (default for int and char) unsigned: Represents only non-negative values Operators Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, % (modulo) Assignment: = Comparison: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >= Logical: && (and), || (or), ! (not) Increment/Decrement: ++, -- Control Flow Conditional statements: if: Executes code if a condition is true else: Executes code if the condition in the if statement is false else if: Provides additional co...

Learning Plan for C++

  Weeks 1-2: Foundations and Review: Brush up on C++ fundamentals: If you're not already comfortable with basic C++ syntax, data types, operators, control flow, functions, and pointers spend time solidifying these concepts. Resources like "C++ Primer" by Stanley B. Lippman and online tutorials can help. Revisit core OOP concepts: Revisit the pillars of OOP like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. Ensure you understand their purpose and application in C++ through resources like "Object-Oriented Programming in C++" by Robert Lafore. Practice basic OOP patterns: Implement basic patterns like constructors, destructors, copy constructors, assignment operators, and member functions to gain practical experience. Deepen your OOP understanding: Revisit the core OOP principles like Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction. Refresh your memory on classes, objects, member functions, constructors, destructors, access specifiers, in...
