C++ ⁽¹⁶⁾

Understanding the scope of your variables is key to avoiding undefined behavior. In this article, I will explain what it means to be in or out of scope.

Codeblocks is an IDE and in this section I want to show you how to get started using it with C++.

Making loops in c++ is a fundamental skill just like it is in other languages. C++ has several options that I will go over.

Making decisions in C++ require the developer to specify one or more conditions to be evaluated by the program. 

Variables are storage containers in your computer’s memory and they hold the information that you work with.

Using strings is a common occurrence in most programming languages. C++ is no exception. In this section I will go over the basic usage with some examples.

Pointers may not be the most intuitive of concepts. However, in C++, they can
still be useful in the right situation.

Programmers will often search data for specific items. The most basic way is to use a linear search. This algorithm will form the foundation of your searching.

The Vector container in C++ is very useful. It will be the better option when you want to store data in an array. Vector has several advantages over a traditional array structure. This makes it more flexible.

This article is over arrays in c++ and how to get started with them. I will show you how to initialize them and then examples of some basic tasks.

This is my guide for people who want to know how C++ works.  With a little effort it can be easy to pick up. I cover the essential basics here with examples.

Today's guide will be over loops in C++. I have been wanting to get to my latest C++ article for a while. So lets break out our favorite text editor and compiler and have some real fun today!

C++ is a really cool language. Despite its age it is still being updated and is one of the top languages around. For hardware programming it is still king and nothing will take its place any time soon. You can do much more than hardware programming in it though. In this article I combine C++ with a basic physics experiment. I show how to read data from a file with C++. I use this data to calculate gravity on Earth. Hopefully I can get close. C++ is so flexible as you can see. That is why I choose to use it still and do tutorials on it. This lesson is over how to read data from a  file. This is still information in a first semester course but I have been busy lately. I plan to write articles well past the first semester so keep checking back. Now on to this lesson.

Making decisions is one of the fundamental activities in any program. Data has to be compared and conditions will have to be evaluated. This is usually the second stage in learning how to program. C++ is just our tool. Regardless, this is one of those concepts that you need to know really well. It will be applied everywhere.

This is my guide for students just starting with beginning C++. Programming in general is not the easiest thing to do. With just a little effort it can be easy to pick up. I cover the essential basics here with lots of examples.
