Sample text

Every language has its own console I/O syntax, so if you are not familiar with C++, that may look new and different to you. 1 Introduction to C++ Language is the only instrument of science. SAMUEL JOHNSON This section gives an overview of the C++ programming language. Origins of the C++ Language The C++ programming language can be thought of as the C programming language with classes (and other modern features) added. The C programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie of AT&T Bell Laboratories in the 1970s.

The operator % can be used with operands of type int to recover the information lost when you use / to do division with numbers of type int. When used with values of type int, the two operators / and % yield the two numbers produced when you perform the long division algorithm you learned in grade school. For example, 17 divided by 5 yields 3 with a remainder of 2. The / operation yields the number of times one number “goes into” another. The % operation gives the remainder. For example, the statements cout << "17 divided by 5 is " << (17 / 5) << "\n"; cout << "with a remainder of " << (17 % 5) << "\n"; yield the following output: 17 divided by 5 is 3 with a remainder of 2 negative integers in division When used with negative values of type int, the result of the operators / and % can be different for different implementations of C++.

5. 5. But what if the 9 and the 2 are the values of variables of type int named n and m? Then, n/m yields 4. If you want floating-point division in this case, you must do a type cast from int to double (or another floating-point type), such as in the following: double ans = n/static_cast(m); 23 24 CHAPTER 1 C++ Basics The expression static_cast(m) is a type cast. The expression static_cast is like a function that takes an int argument (actually, an argument of almost any type) and returns an “equivalent” value of type double.
