Hello and welcome to another quarterly report. It’s always good to keep your progress in front of yourself. That way you know if you’re still on the right track and have confirmation of your accomplishments in moments of doubt.

What all have we learned, experienced and accomplished in the past weeks?

The summary

At the beginning of the quarter I introduced you to my code editor. It looked like an advertisement at the first moment, but it should help you to make a decision. After all, we want to learn programming in C++ and not get bogged down in researching the “one true editor”.

That’s why we continued with the series of articles on C++ basics. There we first looked at the basic framework of every program in C++.

After that, we dealt with variables and constants. In the process, we also couldn’t avoid delving deeper into the concept of datatypes. This is because as a static, explicit, and strongly typed programming language, C++ places a lot of emphasis on coherent typing.

Since we are both human and very visual about our environment, we next looked at how input and output of data works. Using streams, we gave our program information and indicated whether our instructions produced the desired results.

With Enums, we even got to know the first way to create custom data types.

That’s the way it should be, that’s the way it can stay

So there was great progress during this period and we learned a lot. We can be proud of our performance and discipline. This is the way it can continue.

Step by step we continue the journey and look around in the next articles further in the stock of data types of C++. But only until we have collected enough to finally be able to solve first problems with their help.

I wish you maximum success!
