Variables and datatypes are basic building blocks of any programming language. This is especially true for C++, which has a very complex type system. In this course, we will be reintroducing constructs from C and emphasize the differences between variables and datatypes in C++ relative to those in C. Start by considering the difference between the initialization and declaration of a variable. Explore arithmetic, relational, and logical operators and make use of the C++ boolean type. Finally, explore strings in C++ and utilize many of the powerful methods provided by the String class, which are available for use on all string objects. Upon completion, you'll be able to distinguish between variable declaration and initialization, initialize variables using functional, assignment, and braced syntax, and leverage the C++ boolean type and the std::string class.
