Introduction to C++

• C++ is similar in syntax to Java

• C/C++ is not an inherently objected oriented language

Hello world in C++

#include<iostream> // Needed for input and output

using namespace std; // Standard library of C++

int main(){  //program entry point
    
    cout << "Hello World"<<endl;
    return 0;
}

• Scott Meyers, in Effective C++, provides a useful guideline:

  if a class has any virtual function, it should have a virtual destructor, and that classes not designed to be base classes or not designed to be used polymorphically should not declare virtual destructors.

1. There are other forumlas to compute $\pi$, such as $\pi = 4 \times \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{2n + 1}$ ↩
