Introduction to C++

C++ is a cross-platform language that can be used to create high-performance applications. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1979 as an extension to the C language. C++ gives programmers a high level of control over system resources and memory.

Unlike garbage-collected languages, C++ requires developers to manage memory allocations manually (though modern C++ uses smart pointers to mitigate leaks). This control is why C++ dominates game engines, operating systems, and high-frequency trading applications.

Key Strengths

High speed and performance.
Object-oriented structure (classes, encapsulation, inheritance).
Standard Template Library (STL) offering robust algorithms.

C++ is a compiled language, meaning source code is converted to machine code for direct CPU execution, leading to maximum runtime efficiency. It supports template-based generic programming, allowing you to write functions and classes that work with any datatype.

Format Streams Output

C++ uses stream operators (<<) and modifiers from the <iomanip> library to format output text, such as rounding floating point values to specific decimal points.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
int main() {
    double val = 3.14159;
    std::cout << "Formatted: " << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2) << val << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
