Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Wait for a moment until the mingw-w64-install.exe file is completely downloaded."

A block of code is set as follows:

/* rangen.cpp */
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
int main(void) {

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

int guessNumber;
std::cout << "Select number among 0 to 10: ";
std::cin >> guessNumber;

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "You will be greeted by a Welcoming dialog box. Just press the Next button to go to the Setup Setting dialog box."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
