Programming Concepts
(1) Meaning of # in programming
In programming, the ( # ) symbol is called a hash or pound sign. It is used in various programming languages for different purposes. In Python, for example, it is used to indicate a comment. A comment is a line of code that is not executed by the computer but is used to explain the code to the programmer or anyone who reads the code. In HTML, the # symbol is used to indicate an anchor tag or a hyperlink.(2) #include
In C++, the #include directive is used to include a file in the source code. The file can be a header file or a source file. When the preprocessor encounters an #include directive, it replaces the directive with the contents of the specified file.
(3) Iostream
In C++, iostream is a header file that provides input and output functionality using streams. A stream is a sequence of bytes.
(4) Compilers
A compiler is a program that takes in source code written in one language (called the source language) and returns source code written in another language (called the target language).
