Summary

By walking through the content in this chapter, you should have mastered basic code editing skills in VS. Being familiar with the IDE and the editing tools is fundamental for learning C++ scripting in the next chapters, and will also help in your future Unreal Engine game development practices.

The shortcut keys and the functions introduced in this chapter are particularly useful tools that you will want to remember and use when you edit your code—they will benefit you in terms of both your coding performance and code quality.

We also practiced creating and editing C++ source code in a C++ solution. Based on this, we will continue learning more C++ programming syntax, structural programming, and object-oriented programing (OOP) in the next chapter.
