This class will teach your child how to code in C++! 

Session 1: Your child will first setup the programming/development environment utilizing Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community edition. This will enable your child to successfully build, compile, and run a C++ console program, and is imperative to successful coding. The setup of the development environment does take some time, so a good portion of the first session will be devoted to this; especially if the class is at maximum capacity.  

Session 2: Session 2 will cover the Introduction to Programming.  We will discuss:
o Computer Programming
o Programming Language
o C++ Identifiers
o C++ Variables
o C++ Named Constants
o C++ Data Types such at char, int, float, double and c-strings 
o Declarations of C++ Variables and Named Constants
o C++ Assignment Statements and\or Initializing Variables
o The Basic Structure of a C++ Program; including Directives, Headings and the int main() function
o C++ Style Requirements

Lastly, we will conduct a quick review of everything discussed in session 2.

Session 3: In session 3, we will briefly go over Basic Problem Solving Vocabulary and Control and Logic Structures to better understand C++ programming.  After session 3, detailed notes on these things will be sent out for your child to study.  
Session 3 will continue with:
o Operators and Arithmetic
o Mixed Mode Arithmetic
o Assignment Expression Usage
o Increment and Decrement Operators
o Combined Operators

Session 4: In session 4, we will cover Basic Input and Output and selection in C++, to include:
o Use of Output Streams
o Escape Sequences
o Using Manipulators to Format Output
o Use of Input Streams
o Using the IF, nested IF and ELSE IF statements.
