Programming in C++

Basics:
• High­level programming languages, compilation process
• Obtaining the machine code: compilation process
• First C++ program
• Introduction to G++ compiler.
• Variable, integers: values, literals, operators
• Characters: values, literals, operators

Flow control and more data types
• How to control the flow of the program?
• More integral types: values and literals
• Loops and controlling the loop execution­ for, while, do­while
• Logic, bitwise and arithmetic operators

Functions
• Functions: why do you need them?
• Declaring and invoking functions
