Due Date March 24, 2008

Follow the directions to create your first C++ program using  Xcode.   Answer on Google Sites.

·         This lesson gives you the chance to create your first C++ program. You will learn about the structure of a C++ program, enter source code, compile and run the program, and modify the source code. You will also learn how to run a standalone program creating by your C++ compiler.

·         As a guide to new vocabulary, examine the Vocabulary list at the beginning of the lesson. The glossary is also an excellent reference for terms in this lesson.

·         The purpose of the sidebar items that are embedded within the text throughout the lesson is to provide users with important background information, both technical and historical. Boxed items occur under these different headings throughout the book: Concept Builder, Did You Know?, Hot Tip, Important, and Note.
