lesson 1 intro to c++

Explore the basics of C++ and create a simple program.

You’ll need a text editor and compiler program or a IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like Visual Studio to write and compile C++ code. We’ll be using Visual Studio in class so I recommend using it as well so it’s easier to follow along. Always get permission from a parent or guardian before downloading and installing software.

In video 1.2 we add the iostream library so we can send and receive messages with the user.

In video 1.3 we ask the user for input and use if statements to determine a response. Then we add math operations according to the response. The end result is a one time use calculator.
