Chapter 2 Overview

In this chapter, we examine and write several small C++ programs and introduce the fundamental objects supported by C++. The intent is to give you an overall feel for the general structure of a C++ program and to help you become familiar with fundamental objects provided by C++. Indeed, a characteristic that often distinguishes one programming language from another is the primitive objects provided by the language. C++ has a rich set of fundamental objects, which allow integers, reals, and characters to be created and operated on.
