c++ tutorial

C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne 
Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or 
"C with Classes".

//as you can also see to your right ---------------------->

C++ still qualifies as a high-level languge, yet the rise of 
languages like Ruby and Java have given capabilities that sway
people's opinion towards what is and is not "high-level". 

Yet high-level simply means it's farther from machine code and closer 
to human-readable form. Hence the need for a compliler/interpreter.

So don't get too worked up about granular specifics. C++ is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.

//totally not right there ----------------------------------->int x (0);Application of c++ in youtube programint x {0}; #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// function declaration
int max(int num1, int num2);
 
int main () {
   // local variable declaration:
   int a = 100;
   int b = 200;
   int ret;
 
   // calling a function to get max value.
   ret = max(a, b);
   cout << "Max value is : " << ret << endl;
 
   return 0;
}
 
// function returning the max between two numbers
int max(int num1, int num2) {
   // local variable declaration
   int result;
 
   if (num1 > num2)
      result = num1;
   else
      result = num2;
 
   return result; 
}
