## C++ Fundamentals

> C++ is a general-purpose programming language, is considered as "C" with classes. C++ has object-oriented, generic, functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation.

### IDEs and Code Editors for C++

- code::Blocks

- Eclipse

- Microsoft Visual Studio

- VSCode

- CodeLite

- Geany

- Vim, etc.

### Compilers

|Compiler|Platform|Command|

|--------|--------|-------|

|**[GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/) (GNU Compiler Collection)** this is most used for C | Linux | `gcc file.c -o file.out` |

|**[G++](https://gcc.gnu.org/)** this is appropriated for c++ | Linux | `g++ file.cc -o file.out` |

|**[Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-msvc)**| Microsoft | `cl file.cc`|

#### How compilers work

`source code -> compiler -> Machine Language`

From the following source code (called helloWorld.cpp)

```cpp

#include 

int main() {

    // How to print "Hello World"

    std::cout << "Hello World\n"; 

    return 0;

}

```

We need to compile (`g++` helps us to do this)

```

g++ helloWorld.cpp -o helloWorld

```

Above create an executable file (in this case `helloWorld`). To run this we need to execute the file as follows:

```

./helloWorld

```

This prints in console `Hello World`
