Basics of C++ Syntax
Understanding the Basics Key Concepts
C++ syntax follows a rigid structure, including keywords, Semicolons
punctuation, and code organization. It's essential to learn Curly braces

Operators and Expressions
Operators: The Tools
Operators perform operations on data stored in variables.
1
C++ provides many operators, each serving a specific
purpose.
Arithmetic Operators
2 Include +, -, *, /, %, which perform basic mathematical
operations.
Comparison Operators
3 Compare values, such as ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=. They return
boolean (true or false) values.
Logical Operators
4 Combine boolean values, including && (AND), || (OR), and !
(NOT).

Functions and Scope
1 Functions: Reusable Code
Functions encapsulate code blocks, allowing for code
reuse and modularity. They are building blocks of larger
programs.
2 Scope: Variable Visibility
Scope determines where variables are accessible within a
program. Variables declared inside a function have local
scope, while variables declared outside have global
scope.
3 Function Signature
Includes the return type, function name, and parameters.
