Programming A Basic C++ Hello World Console Application

[1pe]

Welcome to My First C++ Tutorial Today I will be show you the viewer how to make a basic C++ hello world console application!

#include <iostream> //The include statement is a way to incorporate different libraries into our code
//NOTE: WE MUST include iostream in our project

int main() { //Here we call the main function which we know will return an int because be called int before calling the function
//NOTE: ALL C++ applications must have a main function

std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; //This Writes Hello World to the Console
//std:: is the standard Library and cout and endl come from
//if we were to remove << std::endl, our next line would start on the same line as this
//Instead of using << std:endl; we can use \n for example "Hello World\n";

return 0; //When Returning 0 it tells our program that everything is running as it should
}

If anything is unclear leave a comment

I will try to make more of these regularly

c++ looks annoying and i may try it out but i usually stick to c#

I have the exact opposite. Languages with garbage collection make me feel like something is deeply wrong and I need to free all this memory I am allocating.
