Computersight -

“Hello World!”, this program is written in every language as one of the most basic programs so almost all beginners can do it, I will show it in C++.

Here is it dissected, “//” means the rest of that line is commented out so the compiler doesn’t see it /* */ comments out all the code in between them

#include // #includes, does as it says it includes the file in the “< >”. The file ‘iostream.h’ aka Input Output stream is need for the further lines of code

using namespace std;// basically a way to type less, it includes the namespace, basically a library of functions. With out this you would need to write std::cout instead of cout

int main()// starts the main function, this is where all C++ programs start

{// shows the start of a function

cout << “Hello World!” << endl;// Cout aka Computer Output, is a simply writes to the console, it write what is after the <<, if its next it needs to be in a “”. (endl simply ends the line)

return 0;//simply exits out of the function with the return value of 0

} // shows the end of a function

/*

depending on your compiler the program may open and close so fast that you don’t see it, to fix this add

“#include ” to the top of the file and “system(”PAUSE”);” one the line before “return 0;”

this will stop the program from cloding till you hit a key */
