Sheet1
1. Answer in brief.

a. Why does the inclusion of the line "#include <iostream>" important in C++
programs that perform input or output?
Answer: The line "#include <iostream>" is important in C++ programs that perform
input or output because it tells the compiler to include the necessary service for stream
input/output. The iostream library provides functionality for reading input from the user
and displaying output on the screen.

b. What does the line "using namespace std;" indicate in a C++ program, and why
is it commonly used?
Answer: The line "using namespace std;" indicates that the program will use the
standard namespace. Namespaces are used to avoid naming conflicts in large programs.
By using the standard namespace, we can access the standard library (std) without
explicitly specifying it for each identifier. It is commonly used to simplify the code and
make it more readable.

c. What is the significance of the "int main ()" function in a C++ program?
Answer: The "int main ()" function is the entry point of a C++ program. It is where the
program execution starts. The "int" indicates that the function will return an integer
value, and "main" is the name of the function. Any code inside the curly braces of the
main function will be executed when the program runs.

d. Why is it necessary for every C++ program to have a main function?


Answer: It is necessary for every C++ program to have a main function because it
serves as the starting point for program execution. The operating system calls the main
function when the program is launched, and the program's execution begins from there.

e. What is the purpose of the "return 0;" statement in the main function of a C++
program?
Answer: The "return 0;" statement in the main function of a C++ program indicates
that the program finished successfully. It is a convention to return 0 to denote
successful execution. Other return values can indicate different error codes or statuses.
