Notes 
Unlike Pascal and BASIC, C++ is a case sensitive language. For example, Cout is not the same as cout.

C++ can be difficult to learn as a first language. For users who are having trouble learning how to program, try using Qbasic or Pascal first.

#include is required to use cin and cout *

using namespace std; prevents the need for syntax like: std::cout or std::endl etc.

* Note: ostream works with cout and istream works with cin. iostream works with both cin and cout
