Chapter 3 Quick Reference

To	Do this
Declare a variable.	Specify the type followed by spaces and then the variable name followed by a semicolon. For example: int number1; long longNumber1;
Assign values to a variable.	Use the assign operator =.
Group homogenous data together.	Use an array.
Prevent data from being changed.	Make the variable a constant. For example: const int x = 10;
Restrict the values a variable can accept to a small set.	Declare an enumerated constant, and declare the variable to be of that type.
Add member variables to a class.	Use the Add Member Variable Class Wizard.
Access a String class.	Use the .NET String class.
Find the size of an object or a type.	Use the sizeof() operator.
Convert one data type to another.	Use the static_cast<type> operator.
Override default operator precedence, or make the code more readable.	Use parentheses to group operators.
