Names or values used in a program, such as x, starship, and 3.14
Language keywords, such as int and if else
File names, such as iostream
Functions, such as main() and puts()
C++ source code is presented as follows:
#include <<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "What's up, Doc!\n"; return 0; }
Sample program runs use the same format, except user input appears in boldface:
