1. To use `cout` and `cin`, you need to include the header file `<iostream>`. 2. The `main()` function is special because it serves as the entry point for the execution of a C++ program. It is where the program starts running. 3. There are a couple of issues with the program. The variable `number` is used before it's declared, and there's no data type specified for it. Additionally, the variable `number` should be of type `double` since you're assigning a floating-point value to it. Here's the corrected version: ``` #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double number = 62.7; cout << number << endl; return 0; } ``` 4. You can consolidate the definitions into one statement using a comma-separated list: int x = 7, y = 16, z = 28; ``` 5. Assignment statements for the given operations: a += 2; // Adds 2 to a and stores the result in b b = b * 4; // Multiplies b by 4 and stores the result in a b = a / 3.14; // Divides a by 3.14 and stores the result in b a -= 8; // Subtracts 8 from b and stores the result in a a = 27; // Stores the value 27 in a c = 'K'; // Stores the character 'K' in c ``` 6. Here's the C++ code that corresponds to the given pseudocode: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int speed = 20; int time = 10; int distance = speed * time; cout << "Distance: " << distance << endl; return 0; }
