Whitespace in C++

 

Whitespace in C++:

A line containing only whitespace, possibly with a comment, is known as a blank line, and C++ compiler totally ignores it.

Whitespace is the term used in C++ to describe blanks, tabs, newline characters and comments. Whitespace separates one part of a statement from another and enables the compiler to identify where one element in a statement, such as int, ends and the next element begins.

Statement 1
In the above statement there must be at least one whitespace character (usually a space) between int and age for the compiler to be able to distinguish them.

Statement 2
In the above statement 2, no whitespace characters are necessary between fruit and =, or between = and apples, although you are free to include some if you wish for readability purpose.

Common Uses: Decision-making in control structures (e.g.,  if  statements) Loop conditions Function return values Example: void: Representing No Value Purpose: Indicates the absence of a value. Common Uses: Function return types that don't return a value Function parameter lists to specify no arguments
