Our First Program
In this lesson we are going to try and familiarize ourselves with programming... We are going to initiate a couple of commands and finish the program pretty quickly. The first time that i saw this program it absolutely confused me beyond belief. In the Videos that I have included here I am going to seek to explain each and every line of code and break it down so that it hopefully makes sense.
The code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
cout << "It's me, your first program.";
return 0;
}
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
cout << "It's me, your first program.";
return 0;
}

The Assignment
Write 3 of the things below into your program to make it different.
1. Add a greeting – let the program welcome you in a warm and pleasant way;
2. Include endl and \n into your program
3. Duplicate (or triplicate) the greeting to welcome more than one person;
4. Insert a line saying cout << endl; between two other couts and check the effects it has; does it look interesting?
5. Try to remove any of the semicolons and look carefully at the compiler's response; pay attention to where the compiler sees an error – is this where the error really is?
