Tutorial Lab 1: Printing


1. In the text editor to your left, you will see the code below:

string my_var = "I am learning"; //step 1


cout << my_var; //step 2
my_var = " to program"; //step 3
cout << my_var; //step 4
my_var = " in C++."; //step 5
cout << my_var << endl; //step 6
my_var = "Hooray!"; //step 7
cout << my_var; //step 8

2. Click TRY IT to see what the code outputs.

3. Click on the ++underlined++ text below to highlight some of the


important points in the code:

Step 1 - Declare the variable my_var and initialize it to the value I am


learning
Step 2 - Print without a new line character by not including << endl;
Step 3 - Add a space when starting the string to avoid printing
learningto
Step 6 - A newline character is added using << endl;
Step 8 - Hooray! is on its own line since the << endl; command was
used in step 6

Tutorial Lab 3: Fundamentals Challenge


In the code to the left, we see that there are a series of declared and
initialized variables. Use these variables along with the cout << and <<
endl; commands to print out a custom message to customers who open a
chat client.

Your output should look something like this:

Hello! Today is Wednesday, May 4.


The current wait time is 4 minutes.

The pattern is as follows. The * indicates variables:

*greeting* Today is *dayOfWeek*, *month* *day*.


The current wait time is *currentWaitMinutes* minutes.

To test the code, first click on the COMPILE button. This will compile your
code and turn it into a program. If your program compiled successfully, you
will see the message Command was successfully executed. Then you can
run your program by clicking on the TEST buttons. You will see the output
of a few different test cases:

Take a look at the test outputs above. Do they look like the expected outputs
below? If not, your code may need some revision.

Hello! Today is Monday, July 4.


The current wait time is 9 minutes.

Howdy! Today is Tuesday, December 15.


The current wait time is 2 minutes.

Greetings! Today is Friday, March 13.


The current wait time is 39 minutes.
