CSCI 1060U
Programming Workshop I
§ This is a first intensive course on computer programming that covers both theory and practice.
§ Aims of the Course:
§ Introduce modern concepts in program design and construction § Introduce features of modern object-­oriented programming
§ Apply these concepts to practical programming problems in the lab § Topics covered – program design, problem solving strategies, program documentation, memory management and object-­oriented program design.

Introduction to C++
Overview
§ Today we will start to learn how to program in C++
§ Who has used C++ before?
§ We’ll start with the tools and environment – the g++ compiler and Linux
§ What is a compiler?
§ Who has used Linux before?

CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 9
Command-­line compilation with g++
§ G++ is the C++ compiler in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
§ We will use G++ in this class in the Linux operating system.

Machine code
CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 10
Command-­line compilation with g++
§ The first step in learning how to use g++ is to compile a single file program
g++ example_program.cpp
§ The above command will compile the program and create a machine code executable call a.out which can be run by typing: ./a.out
© J.S. Bradbury
CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 11
Command-­line compilation with g++
§ If you want to name the executable something other than a.out you can use the –o option
g++ example_program.cpp –o ex_prog
§ The above command will compile the program and links it to create the executable. This is the same as doing these two steps one at a time:
g++ -c example_program.cpp
g++ example_program.o –o ex_prog

CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 12
Comments in C++
Comments
§ In C++ comments can occur in two ways:
// everything from start symbol to the end of line // is a comment
or
/* Everything between the start and end symbols is a comment. */
© J.S. Bradbury
CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 13
The Basic Structure of a C++ Program
//libraries needed by your program are listed first
#include <iostream>
//the next line is needed – will explain later J
using namespace std;;
//the main function is where we will write our code
int main() {
…
return 0;;
}

CSCI 1060U Lecture 1 Slide 14
C++ Input and Output
§ Input using cin
§ Output using cout
See helloclass.cpp for an example of output using cout.
