C++ Tutorial for Beginners
This is a guide to C++ programming. All topics are presented in order of difficulty.
History of C++ language
The C++ programming language was developed in 1970s by Dennis M. Ritchie at Bell Labs ( AT & T ). In the 1960s Dennis worked with others employees of Bell Laps, on a project known as Multics. The Goal of the "Multics" project was to developed an operating system that could be used by thousands users. In 1969s AT&T withdrew the project, because the project couldn't produce an economically useful system.

Compilation & Execution of C++ Program
Compilation of C program is divided into couple of phases, each phase has its own important role and produces different type of output file.

Dev-C++ is full integrated development environment for Windows. It uses MinGW and GCC to compiler C code. This compiler has option to compile code for 32 or 64 bits.

C++ Variables, Constants & Data Types
In programming context variables are simply names used to refer to some location in memory and are used to hold some value. The type of value any variable will hold depends on its data type. Variables can have any name but there are few rules for variable names.

Comments in C++ programming - Single & Multiline comments
C++ programming has only one type of comment i.e /* */ which is used as single line as well as multiline comment.

C++ reference variables
C++ Operators
C++ Input Output
If condition returns true then the statements inside body of "if" are executed and the statements inside body of "else" are skipped. If condition returns falls then the statements inside the body of "if" are skipped and the statements in "else" are executed. Else If comes in picture when we want to insert few more condition between if and else.

C++ if else statements
C++ Switch Statement with Example
A switch case statements is one of the conditional statement in C++ programming. It is similar to "if else" with few differences. It allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of value. Each value is known as case.

C++ Loops - for, while, do while with break & continue examples
In C++ programming loops are used to execute a set of statements repeatedly until a particular condition is met. C++ programming has three loops - for, while and do-while. All of them can be used to do same task but there are few differences.

Arrays in C++ - Single, Double and MultiDimensional
Array is group of similar type of elements. In C++ programming we can create array of any data type ( predefined or user defined). Array index starts from 0 and keep on increasing by 1 for next elements. Array address is the address of its first element.

Pointers in C++ programming
Pointers are special type of variable that stores the address of another variable. Pointer can be declared as any data type like char, int, float, double etc. We can also declare pointer as any user defined data type like structure, enum & union. When pointer is declared as predefined data type then we can get its value using *ptr while when pointer is declared as user defined data type then members are accessed using "->".

Functions are group of statements to perform specific task. A function can have declaration, body & call. Syntax of function is

C++ Namespaces
C++ Dynamic Memory Allocation
Group of character is known as string in C++ programming. String is also know as char array. There are many library function which work on strings like strlen(), strstr(), strcmp() etc.

C++ Polymorphism
Structure is use defined data type which can contain similar or different type of members in it. Like predefined data types, we can create variable of structure, array of strucutre, pointer to structure etc.. The size of structure is the sum of the sizes of its all memebers.

C++ Virtual Table
Similar to Struture, Enum is also user defined data type but it can't contain members with different data types. Enum is mainly used to assign names to integral constants, the names make any program easy to read.

Inheritance in C++
Union is also a special a user defined data type in C++ programming. It may contain different type of elements but the memory location of all elements is same (all elements share same memory location) due to this feature only one element is used at one time.

C++ Abstract Classes
There are large number of library functions to handle file input/ouptut in C++ programming. In this tutorial you will learn to use fopen(), close(), fprint(), fscanf(), fread(), seekg(), seekp(), feesk() etc..
