C++ LEARNING GUIDE

This is a basic guide which I have come up with for the people who are looking to go for C++. I have tried to keep it simple so that everyone can understand it.
I had been working on this for last couple of weeks. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
NOTE: This is a beginners guide so don’t expect too much, I made this guide Keeping Mind that learner is a newbie in C++. Hey now don’t think I am an expert. Sorry for the mistakes I have tried to cover every aspect.
INTRODUCTION

C++ is an object oriented programming language. It was developed by Dr.Bjarne Stroustrup in the year 1983 at AT&T Bell laboratories, New Jersey {U.S.A}. It was originally named as C with classes. The name is derived with the increment operation in C which is ‘++’. So it is the incremented version of C.
An object oriented programming language means collection of objects which are self contain collection of both data structure and functions that interact with other objects. It adds classes, inheritance, functions overloading and operator overloading.
“With the help of C++ we can develop editors, compilers, communication systems, database and other real life time applications.
Note: - C++ codes are case sensitive so every command/codes written should be in Small Letters

Good guide. Needs a bit of editing, I don't have time today .. let's hope someone else does it and publishes your guide.

Just a few points :

1. Include the precedence of operators and their associativity in C++
2. For DATA TYPES :
I think the heading should rather be Primary Data Types
You missed short int.
Also the size of int is machine dependent.
Int is not shorter than short and not longer than long

Quote:

“<<” – Output of data.
The output of data is known as insertion output to operator.
“>>” – Input of data.
Input of data is known as extraction or to get data from the operator.

Those statements are neither correct nor wrong .. LOL

<< and >> are the left shift and the right shift operators respectively!
Also cin and cout are predefined objects and not cin>> and cout<<.

<< and >> operators are overloaded with respect to the cout and cin objects respectively.

And lastly misconception about the getch() (you missed it which IMO is very important) :::

giving getch() is not an essential part of the program. It is only given to pause(rather waits for a keystroke ... more precisely your program is waiting for an input) after the completion of the program, since most people run the program pressing Ctrl+F9 and without it, it may seem to you that there was no output given.
