C++ print your name — the simplest program you can write, but every line teaches you something fundamental. In this video, we break down a six-line C++ program piece by piece so you actually understand what each part does and why it's there.
You'll learn what the include directive pulls in, why we use the std namespace, how the main function works as your program's entry point, how cout and the stream insertion operator send output to the console, and what return 0 actually signals to the operating system. By the end, you'll have a solid mental model of how a basic C++ program is structured — the foundation for everything you'll build next.
