Hello, World! My First Step into C++ Programming

Hey everyone! 👋
I recently started my programming journey, and C++ is the first language I'm learning. I thought it would be fun (and helpful) to document my experience — so here’s a quick look at the very first C++ program I wrote!


💻 What I Used

  • Language: C++

  • Compiler: MinGW

  • Level: Absolute beginner


✨ The Program

Here’s the basic “Hello, World!” program in C++ that I wrote.

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout<<"welcome to the c++ world.";
  return 0;
}

🧠 What I Learned

Even though the program looks small, I learned some really important things:

#include → This line allows us to use input/output functions.

using namespace std; → This lets us avoid writing std:: before cout.

int main() → Every C++ program starts with the main() function.

cout << "Hello, World!"; → This line prints the text to the screen.

return 0; → This ends the program and tells the system that it ran successfully.


✅ Final Thoughts

Writing my first C++ program felt amazing! It’s like saying “Hi!” to the programming world. I know there’s a lot to learn ahead — variables, loops, conditions, and more — but I’m excited to keep going.

If you’re a beginner like me, don’t be afraid to start small. Every coder writes their first “Hello, World!” once. This is mine. 😊
