Chapter 1 — Introduction to C++ Programming

📚 Chapter Overview

C++ is the powerhouse of software engineering. In this chapter, you will learn the history of C++, its unique features, and the standard structure of a compiled C++ program.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the evolution from C to C++.
Master the 4-stage compilation process.
Write and execute your first "Hello World" in C++.

1.1 What is C++?

Part 1 — Definition

C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension to the C language. C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory, making it ideal for games, operating systems, and browsers.

Part 2 — Syntax

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    // Code
    return 0;
}

Part 3 — Example

Problem: Print a welcome message to the console.

Main.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "Welcome to Intelle Learn C++ Mastery!";
    return 0;
}

Output: Welcome to Intelle Learn C++ Mastery!
