L1-1 Fundamentals

The most important thing you need to know about C++ is how to even get started with it! First, make sure that you have access to an environment where you can write and run C++ programs. Many options exist online in your browser to use, or if you want you can also download a C++ compiler on your computer and write and run scripts locally.

If you've done C++ 1 before, hopefully you remember how to write a basic program in it. Please do the following before moving on:

• Review and complete the activities on Lesson 1.6 in the Runestone textbook for a guide on the components of a C++ script, such as the main function, comments, and how to print.
• Review and complete the activities on Lesson 2.1 in the Runestone textbook for more on printing.
