This course breaks down learning into 128 lessons across 15 chapters. It's designed for easy navigation and mastery of each topic.

Lesson 1: Variables, Types and Operators

Learn the fundamentals of C++ programming: declaring variables, using built-in data types, and performing operations with operators

Lesson 2: Introduction to Functions

Learn the basics of writing and using functions in C++, including syntax, parameters, return types, and scope rules.

Lesson 3: Namespaces, Includes, and the Standard Library
