Basic C++ Concepts

In order to implement trading strategies in C++, it is important to have a good understanding of some basic concepts. Let's start with a simple example to demonstrate the use of variables, data types, and basic arithmetic operations in C++.

TEXT/X-C++SRC
1#include <iostream>
2using namespace std;
3
4int main() {
5  int num1 = 5;
6  int num2 = 10;
7  int sum = num1 + num2;
8
9  cout << "The sum of " << num1 << " and " << num2 << " is " << sum << endl;
10
11  return 0;
12}

In the above example, we declare three variables num1, num2, and sum of type int to store integer values. We initialize num1 with the value 5 and num2 with the value 10. We then calculate the sum of num1 and num1 using the + operator and store the result in the sum variable.

Finally, we use the cout object from the iostream library to print the output "The sum of 5 and 10 is 15".

This example introduces the concept of variables, data types, assignment, and arithmetic operations in C++. Having a strong foundation in these basic concepts will be crucial for understanding and implementing more complex trading strategies in C++.
