C++ Tokens

As mentioned earlier, C++ is the superset of C and so most constructs of C are legal in C++ with their meaning and usage unchanged. So tokens, expressions and data types are similar like that of C. It also is preferred to understand the concepts of C before learning C++. However there are some exceptions and additions in C++ which you will not get in C. In this chapter you will learn about what are tokens, and the different types of tokens, expressions, and basic data types.

What are Tokens

Each individual word and punctuation is referred to as a token in C++. Tokens are the smallest building block or smallest unit of a C++ program.
These following tokens are available in C++:
Identifiers: Identifiers are names given to different entries such as variables, structures and functions. Also identifier names should have to be unique because these entities are used in the execution of the program.
Keywords: Keywords is reserved words which have fixed meaning and its meaning cannot be changed. The meaning and working of these keywords are already known to the compiler. C++ has more numbers of keyword than C and those extra ones have special working capabilities.
Operators: C++ operator is a symbol that is used to perform mathematical or logical manipulations.
Constants: Constants are like variable, except that their value never changes during execution once defined.
Strings: Strings are objects that signify sequences of characters.

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes Qualifiers and storage class are smaller but important programming concept that helps to make the quality of a variable more accurate for using that variable within the program. In this chapter you will learn about how qualifiers are used with variables and what the roles of different storage classes in C++ are. What is a Qualifier? A qualifier is a token added to a variable which adds an extra  quality , such as specifying volatility or constant-ness to a variable. They act like an adjective for a variable. With or without a qualifier, the variable itself still occupies the same amount of memory, and each bit has the same interpretation or contribution to the state/value. Qualifiers just specify something about how it may be accessed or where it is stored. Three qualifiers are there in C++. These are: const : This is used to define that the type is constant. volatile : his is used to define that the type is volatile. mutable:  applies to non...
