C++ Fundamentals

Overview of this book

C++ has come a long way and is now adopted in several contexts. Its key strengths are its software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, servers, and performance-critical applications, not to forget its importance in game programming. Despite its strengths in these areas, beginners usually tend to shy away from learning the language because of its steep learning curve. The main mission of this book is to make you familiar and comfortable with C++. You will finish the book not only being able to write your own code, but more importantly, you will be able to read other projects. It is only by being able to read others' code that you will progress from a beginner to an advanced programmer. This book is the first step in that progression.

Control Flow Statements
In a program, it is rare to provide useful functionality by just executing a linear sequence of operations. Commonly, a program must be able to react in different ways in response to different situations or execute the same operation multiple times in different contexts. Let us learn the control flow statements C++ offers to the programmer to control the sequence of operations to be executed.
