Introduction to programming with C++: part 4

A short video made with the intention of introducing you to programming by way of teaching you the fundamentals of C++, one of the most popular programming languages today.
One of the interesting points of this lecture is that you don't need a computer at all to do computer programming!

If you're really hooked into learning how to program on a long run you ought to check Stanford's intro programming course CS106A by Mehran Sahami:

If you prefer a more computer science'esque approach in teaching programming, then I would recommend that you check out MIT's 6.00 course:

For a more advanced set of topics expressed in C++, there's Stanford's CS106B course by Julie Zelenski:

For a yet more advanced introduction to programming I warmly recommend the awesome and now legendary MIT's SICP course by Hal Abelson and Gerald J. Sussman:

[JATR1X]

isn't the area marked as "S" not "P"?

[PetarMarendic]

@JATR1X Yeah, I was probably thinking in Croatian the moment I was writing the formula down - we say 'Povrsina' for 'Surface'.

[JATR1X]

oh, got it. but how you write down the Perimeter?

[PetarMarendic]

@JATR1X 'Perimeter' would be 'Opseg', so we normally denote it with the letter 'O'. Thanks for pointing out that this might be confusing - I should overlay a note on this matter at that point in the video.

Hi jmlport98!

The programs in these videos were not meant to be executed by the computer. Because of this, some of them can't even be compiled, that is translated, into machine language that a computer can understand and execute.

What I would suggest is that you look up some C++ tutorials that show you how to set up an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and how to compile and run programs - they will definitely address the particular problem you seem to be having at the moment!

[MBravo1313]

@shmuligut Yes it's. int main ( ). It's the first function the program will run.

[Rick132500]

@shmuligut it's intmain()

[JamesInokeDyer]

Thank god for your videos thanks so much for making these :D

[shmuligut]

what is that thing that u write before every program starts, right before the brackets?

is it " int mean ()"

[tsdaniss]

Thank you, you're the best at explaining!
