1
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,100
In this section of the course, we'll learn about variables and constants.

2
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:14,230
It's virtually impossible to write a c++ program without using variables.

3
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:18,030
Variables are a fundamental concept in programming languages.

4
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:21,830
First, we're learned what variables are and how to declare them so we can use them.

5
00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:24,830
There are rules for how we name our variables,

6
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:27,830
and there are also styled issues to discuss as we go along.

7
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:31,330
Then we'll go over some of the primitive types in c++

8
00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:32,530
such as integers,

9
00:00:32,530 --> 00:00:35,030
floating point numbers Booleans and characters.

10
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:39,490
We'll also learn how to determine how much storage is allocated to variables

11
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,490
by using the size of operator.

12
00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:44,690
Then we'll learn about constants, what they are

13
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:49,190
and what they're used and why they're so important to keeping our code correct and modifiable.

14
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:54,790
We'll learn how to declare and use constants, understand literals and constant expressions.

15
00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:58,290
This section is very straightforward and easy to understand.

16
00:00:58,290 --> 00:01:00,890
However, the concepts you'll learn in this section

17
00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:04,390
service fundamental building blocks in c++ programming

18
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:08,750
since nearly every program you ripe will have variables and constants.

19
00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:09,750
Lets get started.
