C++ basics

/************************/

In C++, the semicolon is a statement terminator. That is, each individual statement must be ended with a semicolon. It indicates the end of one logical entity.

/************************/

C++ does not recognize the end of the line as a terminator.

/************************/

A local variable is known only to the function in which it is declared.

/************************/

A formal parameter is a local variable that receives the value of an arument.

Now, it is the most interesting part-pointer.

Pointers are without doubt one of the most important-and troublesome-aspects of C++. In fact, a large measure of C++'s power is derived from pointers. They allow C++ to support such things as linked lists and dynamic memory allocation.

A pointer is a variable that contains the address of another object.

To declare P to be a pointer to an integer, use the declaration: int *P

a pointer to a float, use the declaration: float *P

There are twp special operators that are used with pointers: * and &.

Let's see the simple example.

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int balance;

int *balptr;

int value;

balance = 300;

balptr = &balance;

value = *balptr;

cout << " balance is : "<< value << '\n'<<endl;

return 0;

}

The output is shown here.
balance is: 3200

/************************/

The base type of pointer is important. It determine the how many bytes of address the compiler would transfer for the pointer types.

/************************/

Assigning Values Through a Pointer

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int *p, num;
p = &num;
*p = 100;
cout << num << ' ';
(*p)++;//Here is call back the value which is stored in the p.
cout << num << ' ';
(*p)--;
cout << num << '\n';
return 0;
}
The output from the program is shown here.
100 101 100
