Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to format your code, and how to identify expressions and statements. You have learned how to identify the scope of variables, and how to group collections of functions and variables into namespaces so that you can prevent name clashes. You have also learned the basic plumbing in C++ of looping and branching code, and how the built-in operators work. Finally, you put all of this together in a simple application that allows you to perform simple calculations at the command line.

In the following chapter, you will learn about working with memory, arrays, and pointers.
