📖 Chapter Breakdown

🔹 Chapter 2: Introduction to C++

• Basic structure of a C++ program (#include <iostream>, namespace std)
• Output streams (std::cout, std::endl)
• Variables, identifiers, and primitive data types (int, float, double, char, bool)
• The sizeof operator and memory layout representation (18Sizeof.cpp)
• String classes and character literals
• Scope, constant variables (const), and arithmetic assignments (26PayRoll.cpp)
• Chapter review exercises (1Exercise.cpp)

🔹 Chapter 3: Expressions & Interactivity

• Interactive user input streams (std::cin)
• Mathematical expressions, operator precedence, and associativity
• Type conversions and type casting (static_cast)
• Formatting console output (<iomanip>, setw, setprecision, fixed)
• Standard mathematical functions (<cmath>, pow, sqrt, sin, cos)
• String handling with getline

🔹 Chapter 4: Making Decisions

• Relational comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, <=, >=)
• The if statement and nested conditional logic
• Two-way (if...else) and multi-way branching (if...else if...else)
• Logical operators (&&, ||, !) and short-circuit evaluation
• Menu-driven programs with switch and break statements
• Scope of block variables and defensive input validation

🛠️ How to Compile & Run

Using GCC / G++ (MinGW on Windows or Linux):

# Compile a specific file:
g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra Chapter2_Introduction_to_C++/1Program.cpp -o program.exe

# Execute:
./program.exe

Using Clang:

clang++ -std=c++17 Chapter3_Expressions/1Program.cpp -o program.exe
./program.exe
