C++ Syntax C-PLUS-PLUS

Explanation: 

Line 1: #include <iostream> is a header file library that lets us work with input and output objects, such as cout (used in line 5). Header files add functionality to C++ programs.

Line 2: using namespace std means that we can use names for objects and variables from the standard library.

Don't worry if you don't understand how #include <iostream> and using namespace std works. Just think of it as something that (almost) always appears in your program.

Line 3: A blank line. C++ ignores white space.

Line 4: Another thing that always appears in a C++ program, is int main(). This is called a function. Any code inside its curly brackets {} will be executed.

Line 5: cout (pronounced "see-out") is an object used to output/print text. In our example, it will output "Hello World".

Note: Every C++ statement ends with a semicolon ;.

Note: The body of int main() could also be written as:
int main () { cout << "Hello World! "; return 0; }

Remember: The compiler ignores white spaces. However, multiple lines make the code more readable.

Line 6: return 0 ends the main function.

The using namespace std line can be omitted and replaced with the std keyword, followed by the :: operator for some objects:
