Programming in C++

C++ is widely used, especially for applications requiring high speed or access to low-level features. It was developed in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup as a set of extensions to the C programming language. C++ builds upon C, and the initial lectures will focus primarily on the C aspects of the language.

While graphical programs can be written in C++, they are more complex and less portable compared to text-based (console) programs. For this course, we will focus exclusively on console programs. Additionally, C++ is case-sensitive, meaning identifiers like someName and SomeName are treated as distinct.
