Hello, World

Every C++ program starts with a main() function. Inside it, you write instructions. The program runs those instructions from top to bottom. std::cout lets you print text to the screen, and std::endl moves to a new line.

01#include <iostream> tells the compiler to include the input/output library.
02std::cout << "text" prints text. The << operator sends data to cout.
03return 0; at the end of main() signals that the program finished successfully.

In [1]main.cpp

⌘↵

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, C++!" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Welcome to BaseCodeByte." << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Challenge

Print your own name on a third line using std::cout. Add a line that says 'My name is ...'.
