Overview of this book

C++ is the backbone of many games, GUI-based applications, and operating systems. Learning C++ effectively is more than a matter of simply reading through theory, as the real challenge is understanding the fundamentals in depth and being able to use them in the real world. If you're looking to learn C++ programming efficiently, this Workshop is a comprehensive guide that covers all the core features of C++ and how to apply them. It will help you take the next big step toward writing efficient, reliable C++ programs. The C++ Workshop begins by explaining the basic structure of a C++ application, showing you how to write and run your first program to understand data types, operators, variables and the flow of control structures. You'll also see how to make smarter decisions when it comes to using storage space by declaring dynamic variables during program runtime. Moving ahead, you'll use object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques such as inheritance, polymorphism, and class hierarchies to make your code structure organized and efficient. Finally, you'll use the C++ standard library?s built-in functions and templates to speed up different programming tasks. By the end of this C++ book, you will have the knowledge and skills to confidently tackle your own ambitious projects and advance your career as a C++ developer.

Introduction

In the last chapter, we learned about the various data types provided by C++, and how we can use them to store and represent the data within our systems. In this chapter, we will take a look at operators, the mechanisms by which we assign and manipulate this data. We've been using them throughout our work so far—it's hard to write C++ and not use them to some extent, at least—but we've yet to address them head-on. That's what we'll be doing now.

Operators come in many shapes and sizes, but in general, their role is to allow us to interact with our data. Be it assigning a value, modifying it, or copying it, this is all done through operators. We'll start by looking at arithmetic and relational operators. These allow us to perform mathematical operations such as adding, subtracting, and dividing numbers, and to compare values to one another.

We'll then move on to looking at assignment operators. These allow us to assign...
