Cards in this deck (9)

1argumentValue passed to a function
2assignmentObliterates an object's current value and replaces that value with a new one
3blockSequence of zero or more statements enclosed in curly braces
4bufferA region of storage used to hold data. IO facilities often store input (or output) in a buffer and read or write the buffer independently from actions in the program. Output buffers can be explicitly flushed to force the buffer to be written. By default, reading cin flushes cout; cout is also flushed when the program ends normally.
5built-in typeType, such as int, defined by the language
6cerrostream object tied to the standard error, which often writes to the same device as the standard output. Not buffered. Usually used for error messages
7character string literalAnother term for string literal
8cinistream object used to read from the standard input
9classFacility for defining our own data structures together with associated operations. The class is one of the most fundamental features in C++. Library types, such as istream and ostream, are classes.
