C/C++ Computer programming -- Help with upcoming C++ exam

AI Thread Summary
An undergraduate Physics student is preparing for an upcoming C++ programming exam and seeks guidance on essential topics to study. The discussion highlights the challenges of addressing such a broad question without specific details. Participants suggest focusing on particular study questions and utilizing the Homework Help forums for targeted assistance. They emphasize the importance of using code tags for clarity when posting code. C++ is noted for its applications in physics, particularly in simulations, data analysis, and experimental processes. Due to the general nature of the inquiry, participants recommend consulting online tutorials and reviewing the exam syllabus for more structured preparation. The conversation concludes with the acknowledgment that the initial question lacks the specificity needed for a comprehensive response.

TL;DR Summary
I want to know about C++ programming
Hi, I am an undergraduate Physics student and i have an exam on c++ programming next monday, what are the basic things I have to know in order to perform well in the exam? And how is c++ applied in physics?

I'm not sure we can be of much help on such a general question about C++. If you have specific study questions that you need help with, post in the Homework Help forums, and show your best effort to figure out the problem. Also please be sure to use "code tags" to wrap your code posts -- it helps readability a lot. Put this around your code (without the spaces):

[ code=C ]

[ /code ]
And how is c++ applied in physics?
It is applied pretty much as any programming language. It is used for simulations and data analysis and running experiments, etc.

Somehow it seems to me that you have no prior knowledge in C++. In that case, you might want to have a look at this online tutorial:
https://www.javatpoint.com/cpp-tutorialIt's impossible for us to mention all the basics of the language. It's better if you read from the above site.

You have to know where to go and at what time to take the exam. For other things it is a bit late ...

You might browse the syllabus and maybe even post it here ...

Thread closed. The question is too vague for us to be able to provide a meaningful answer.

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
