1
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:08,700
In this section of the course, we'll take a look at the basic structure

2
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:10,300
of a simple c++ program.

3
00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:14,150
First, we'll look at the basic components of a c++ program.

4
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:16,149
These includes things like keywords,

5
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:20,550
identifiers, operators, punctuation, comments and syntax.

6
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:25,410
Then we'll discuss the pre-processor directives that c++ uses.

7
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:28,610
These are the statements that begin with the pound sign or the hashtag.

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,160
And we'll discuss what they do and how they work.

9
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:35,810
We'll then take a look at the main function specifically and functions in general.

10
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:39,010
Then we'll discuss what c++ namespaces are

11
00:00:39,010 --> 00:00:42,010
and why we use the standard namespace so often.

12
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:44,010
That's the STD word reviews throughout.

13
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:47,910
We’ll then learn about the types of comments that c++ supports

14
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:49,910
and why we use comments in our code at all.

15
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:54,770
Finally, we'll talk about basic stream input output using cin and cout.

16
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:55,870
Let's get started.
