Hello, I just thought that I would create basic C++ tutorials through examples to help people out. Now, what I will do is send out the source to people who ask. So far I've gotten 2 samples going.
The first one is: Chapter 1 - Strings and Basics
The second one is: Chapter 2 - If and While Loops and Basics
The code is fully commented to help the user understand what's going on.
Well, here's the code from chapter 1 to give you guys a basic idea of what it's like.
// This program just gets the user to input something and displays
// it back with a little border.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to the test program using strings" << endl;
cout << "Enter a one word text" << endl;
// Creates a string that grabs their text
string text;
cin >> text;
// Grabs length of text and declares border size and text
const string Length("You entered " + text + " as your text");
const string Border(Length.size(), '*');
// Prints border with message
cout << Border << endl;
cout << Length << endl;
cout << Border << endl;
cout << "\tPress Enter to Continue " << endl;
// So the console doesn't disappear
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
return 0;
}
I will be finishing each Chapter daily. So every day a new Chapter is out :D. If you have any questions don't hesitate to post back... I'm just trying to help those diving into C++
