Variables

User Input

std::cin , which stands for “character input”, reads user int tip = 0;
input from the keyboard.
Here, the user can enter a number, press enter , and
std::cout << "Enter amount: ";
that number will get stored in tip .
std::cin >> tip;

Variables

A variable refers to a storage location in the computer’s // Declare a variable


memory that one can set aside to save, retrieve, and
int score;
manipulate data.

// Initialize a variable
score = 0;

Arithmetic Operators

C++ supports di�erent types of arithmetic operators that int x = 0;


can perform common mathematical operations:
• + addition
• - subtraction x = 4 + 2; // x is now 6
• * multiplication x = 4 - 2; // x is now 2
• / division x = 4 * 2; // x is now 8
• % modulo (yields the remainder)
x = 4 / 2; // x is now 2
x = 4 % 2; // x is now 0

double Type

double is a type for storing �oating point (decimal) double price = 8.99;
numbers. Double variables typically require 8 bytes of
double pi = 3.14159;
memory space.

Chaining the Output

std::cout can output multiple values by chaining them int age = 28;
using the output operator << .
Here, the output would be I'm 28.
std::cout << "I'm " << age << ".\n";

int Type

int is a type for storing integer (whole) numbers. An int year = 1991;
integer typically requires 4 bytes of memory space and
int age = 28;
ranges from -2³¹ to 2³¹-1.

char Type

char is a type for storing individual characters. char grade = 'A';


Characters are wrapped in single quotes ' . Characters
char punctuation = '?';
typically require 1 byte of memory space and range from
-128 to 127.

string Type

std::string is a type for storing text strings. Strings are std::string message = "good nite";
wrapped in double quotes " .
std::string user = "codey";

bool Type

bool is a type for storing true or false boolean bool organ_donor = true;
values. Booleans typically require 1 byte of memory
bool late_to_work = false;
space.
