This beginner-friendly course teaches C++ through a practical, hands-on approach. You’ll begin by learning how to communicate with the machine through input/output, simple calculations, and variables. Step-by-step, you’ll build programs to make decisions and repeat actions using conditionals and loops. As you progress, you’ll learn how to organize your code using functions, store data with arrays and vectors, and apply your knowledge by building mini projects like a number guessing game and a contact book. These exercises are designed to help you build confidence and reinforce your understanding. In the final section, you’ll build a complete project that combines all your skills in a creative, interactive program. Whether starting a tech career or just curious about coding, this course will give you a solid foundation in procedural C++ programming.
