Programming in C++: Structure and Data Types

Overview/Description
C++ is a strongly typed language, and so a thorough understanding of data types is critical to be a good C++ programmer. In this course, you'll learn about the basic structure of C++ and the function of operators. You'll also learn about data types, from basic built-in types like integers to the use of custom data types.
